I am pleased to share the final version of our Human Breast Cell Atlas with @MarioniLab now out @NatureGenet. There are important new additions, which I will leave to @Dr_SaraPensa and @AustinDReed to mention👇 . Couple of points i want to highlight 👇: nature.com/articles/s4158…
I am very pleased to share our second and largest contribution to “The Human Breast Cell Atlas” (HBCA) project. Buckle up a longish thread ahead! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Not long left to apply! Join us at the Stem cells and Cancer conference in Malta. Deadline 31st July!
🚨Programme Live! Our Stem Cells & Cancer Conference Programme is shaping up nicely, with final touches being made to the programme. This is now available to view on our website, don't miss out on joining @JonesLabUCSF @PlathLab @MariaPAlcolea & @KateMiro1 in Malta this…
our work mapping the molecular + cellular progression of lung damage in severe COVID-19 is out @NatureComms ! A covid side project that turned into a labour of love over the years & really happy @THJimmyLee & Sam pushed this collaboration over the line. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Today saw our final year PhD students and MPhil students give talks on their research, whilst 2nd years presented posters of their progress so far 😀 A great day showing the diversity of research in the Department - congratulations to poster and talk prize winners!
We’re thrilled to share our latest publication in @Cancer_Cell, and very proud of C. Rozalén for this tour de force uncovering how TIM3⁺ breast cancer cells drive immune evasion during micrometastasis. #CancerImmunology #BreastCancer #Metastasis cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…
Could this be the future of cancer prevention? Walid Khaled @Cambridge_Uni, a new ERC Advanced Grant recipient, will work on a preventive vaccine for breast cancer. 👉 europa.eu/!WPxYgx #ERCAdG #CancerResearch #FrontierResearch
How does tumour heterogeneity arise? How can we predict cancer cell plasticity? In 2 studies, we trace #glioblastoma heterogeneity to a spatial cancer cell trajectory w. atlassing bit.ly/4mkrWgs & predict plasticity w. snRNA/ATAC+deep learning bit.ly/3FbI6Ic 🧵
We're recruiting a teaching associate to work across Biochemistry and Pharmacology! 🔬 The role focuses primarily on the delivery of teaching and examining but will also be involved in course development. Please apply here: phar.cam.ac.uk/jobs
A huge thank you to all patients, all the NHS hospital trusts, and trials teams that took part in the PARTNER trial @CUH_NHS; @CRUKCamBreast; @CRUKCamCentre; @Cambridge_Uni; @CambridgeBRC Thanks to @NatureComms and their editorial team!
Congrats to all the team. Important findings and hopefully will change practice.
🔊Results from the PARTNER Trial hereditary BRCA #breastcancer cohort results have just been published in @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s4146…. A great read alongside the #TNBC result: nature.com/articles/s4158…. Thanks to all the patients that took part.

Essential meeting at the crossroads of stem cell biology & cancer!🔬✨ EARLY CAREER RESEARCH GRANTS! 📅 Fusion: Stem Cells & Cancer 📍 September 28, 2025 Deadlines: 🗣️ Early Bird & Talks: Apr 17 🖼️ Posters: Jul 31 🔔 Final Registration: Jul 31, 2025 bit.ly/49sCfJp
(1/n) The first preprint from our lab is now out in @NatureGenet! We tried to tackle a key challenge in spatial biology to quantitatively characterizing cellular niches by learning spatial gene programs using NicheCompas led by @SebastianBirk_. Paper: shorturl.at/b4Hjk
Thrilled to share new work led by @JieYang437 in the lab published today in @Nature. We find that Aspirin prevents metastasis by releasing T cells from immune suppression by platelet TXA2. @Cambridge_Uni @CRUKCamCentre rdcu.be/eci1U
