Huge congratulations to @DevenneyRachel who graduated with her PhD this week! A fantastic student, who worked on an ambitious project focused on co-mutations with mutant NRAS in leukaemia @PersonalMedNI @UlsterUniMed. Thanks to co-supervisors @RachelleIrwin15 and @columwalsh.

Register today for the Virtual Cell Challenge and use AI to solve one of biology’s most complex problems. Announced in @CellCellPress, the competition is hosted by Arc Institute and sponsored by @nvidia, @10xGenomics, and @UltimaGenomics.

Dear CLRUK community! The 2025 Annual meeting will be held in York on 11th Sep. We encourage students and postdocs to present their work and ECRs to volunteer as session chairs. Hope to see you all in beautiful York. Register here 👇 forms.office.com/Pages/Response…

It is a great honor and greater responsibility to take over the chair of the @EHA_Hematology research committee from Brian Huntly and @DelwelRuud. Together with Dominique Bonnet I will lead the committee dealing with all aspects of research at @EHA_Hematology.

🚨New guidance alert! Well done Dr @drerinbyrd for leading the development of Building Active Schools in Special Education, the first-of-its-kind framework promoting a whole-school approach to physical activity in special education settings👏 Read more: ulster.ac.uk/news/2025/june…

We are very proud to announce the launch of MAGIC-I, a new 5 yr project harnessing the power of genetics, genomics & big data to inform future childhood cancer care. @ucddublin @CHI_Ireland @HSELive @illumina @UCD_Research @UCDMedicine @PrecisionOncIre ucd.ie/sbi/news/newsf…

Congratulations to Prof. Owen Smith and the broader MAGIC-I team! Delighted to be at launch of this amazing new all-island cancer research programme. Well done all concerned ⁦@sysbioire⁩ ⁦@PrecisionOncIre⁩ ⁦@ucddublin⁩ - ⁦@AlCRIproject⁩ ⁦@hseNCCP⁩

🎉Congrats to Dr Kyle Matchett on winning the Distinguished Research award for the Faculty of Life & Health Sciences at Ulster University! 👏 A fantastic recognition of his research excellence & support for junior researchers. Best of luck in the next stage! #ResearchExcellence

This is a collaboration between our lab and EEECS colleague in AI Barry Devereux, as well as @drkylematchett at Ulster University working on leukaemia. This PhD is supported by the NILabs, is fully funded but competitive and does have room for excellent international candidates.

Our final (?) PhD opportunity of the year has now opened for applicants(!), which seeks to exploit AI approaches to help understanding cellular signalling systems in infectious diseases and cancer! findaphd.com/phds/project/n…

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Watch our incredible female Honorary Graduates Dr. Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, Dr. @samanthabarry, Global Editorial Director & Editor-in-Chief of @glamourmag, & @ciaramageean, Olympic runner, as they offer their advice. #WeAreUU
