Chris Tape
@christophertape
Group Leader at @uclcancer. Studying how different cell-types collaborate to drive cancer.
Very excited to share two papers published today in @CellCellPress describing stem cell plasticity in CRC. (1/22) cell.com/cell/fulltext/… cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
(1/n) Excited to share our work on gene signal pattern analysis (GSPA), an new way of analyzing gene expression over cellular manifolds! Out today! nature.com/articles/s4358…
We are recruiting! We're searching for a postdoctoral research fellow to study patient-specific regulators of plasticity in primary and metastatic CRC. Please reach out if you have any questions! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…
Excited to arrive in Whistler for the @KeystoneSymp on Organoids and Single Cells 🇨🇦 🐻
Thanks to @CR_UK for featuring our work on stem cell plasticity in CRC: news.cancerresearchuk.org/2025/05/09/ste…
🎉Exciting news - @CR_UK and partners have launched a £5.5m fund to research personalised treatments for bowel cancer. We're proud that our faculty member @christophertape and our Organoids facility are part of the international research team. bit.ly/3E3092H
We are recruiting for a new Research Technician to join the @CRUKCOLcentre Organoid Platform! Full details: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…
Excited to share today, a whole new chapter in my scientific journey. TAPELAb (@christophertape) latest review on ‘High-dimensional signalling analysis of organoids’ is now online. Full review available here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
If teams forming around the 'Rewiring Cancer Cells' or 'TME Dynamics' Grand Challenges would like to include our high-throughput organoid co-culture signalling technologies please get in touch!
📢 Announcing 7 new #CancerGrandChallenges 📢 We're thrilled to announce 7 new challenges, now open for Expressions of Interest from global, interdisciplinary teams. Awards of up to £20m ($25m) are available. Discover the new challenges: bit.ly/3WY6Rxn
Very proud of @BobbyBentham and his excellent new tool…we’ve been working on this for a while, very much hope it’ll be useful.
🚀 Our paper introducing ImmuneLENS, a new tool that measures T and B cell fractions from WGS data. This builds on our previous method, T cell ExTRECT, that used a signal from V(D)J recombination to measure T cells. Out today in @NatureGenet doi.org/10.1038/s41588… 🧵👇
Great to finally meet @christophertape in person at @ucl London, also visited the @TheCrick and the Erik Sakai Lab!! Lots of cancer, optimal transport, cell dynamics talk about.
Thank you to the Class of ‘61 for supporting our cancer work!!
Dr. Smita Krishnaswamy has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Class of '61 Cancer Research Award by the @YaleCancer ! 🏆 @KrishnaswamyLab will receive $65,000 to support her groundbreaking cancer research. Congratulations, Dr. Krishnaswamy! 🎉👏 #YaleGenetics #CancerResearch
Hundreds of thousands more people will be sent a home-testing kit that can help to detect signs of bowel cancer, as the NHS expands its lifesaving screening programme to those aged 50 in England. ℹ️ england.nhs.uk/2025/01/nhs-ro…
Annual lab curry and new karting tradition. Extremely proud to work alongside these wonderful people.
Excited to speak on the 'Single-cell Stage' at The Festival of Genomics & Biodata (@FoGenomics) in London next month. Academic tickets are available free here: festivalofgenomics.com/london/en/page…
🚨So proud to present the first study from our @CCG_UCL group together with @CharlesSwanton @NnennayaKanu and led by @ojlucas with key collaboration @Ward__Sophie and fundamental support @Rija_Zaidi_ @abi_bunkum & many others Out in @NatureGenet 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s41588… 🧵👇
Excited to be in Heidelberg for the @embl ‘Quantitative Biology to Molecular Mechanisms’ meeting embl.org/about/info/cou…
It appears there is a massive Sci-Twitter exodus to Bsky! Exciting to see something that looks like the Twitter I remember so fondly. Please follow me at: christophertape.bsky.social 💙
Tomorrow is the last day for UK academics juggling caring responsibilities to share their experiences w/ us @STEMM_carers (aka the 3Lauras 😉) Taking a minute to do the survey will help drive policy change to improve support provisions for carers qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_6s…
