Senior postdoctoral fellow @ICR_London. Discovering new therapeutic targets in cancer.
So happy to share our paper in @NatureCancer. nature.com/articles/s4301… We discovered that HIF hydroxylases are therapeutic targets in AML & with @SchofieldOxford showed that current or novel inhibitors (IOX5), selectively kill AML cells, and synergise with Venetoclax. 1/4.
An amazing #EHAReCon2024 @EHA_Hematology conference in Borovets. Thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to present, my mentor @kamilkranc & my ski instructor Rabbo for keeping my upright on the slopes 🔬⛷️


Looking forward to it! Come along for some exciting updates on m6A in AML!!
5days until our London mini RNA symposium at @QMBCI on 16th July. We have put together excellent programme incl. talks by @TzelepisLab @MadziaCrossley Vikram Paralkar @hannahjlawson and early-career researchers. See you all next week . Programme 👇 thanks @RNASociety for support
2 weeks to go! Come and join us for this exciting half of day with a great lineup. Free to attend. No need to register. Looking forward to seeing you all!
Join us for an in-person mini-symposium to discuss several topics at the interface of RNA biology and Cancer @QMBCI on 16th July. Free to come. Pizza and drink to network! @LondonRNAClub
V happy to share that @LydiaMWang1 passed her PhD viva with ease this week. An absolute pleasure to work alongside & supervise with @kamilkranc and @stojic_lovorka. Looking forward to finishing off this project with everyone in the New Year!!

📰 Researchers at BCI have uncovered a promising treatment for #leukaemia that targets the way cancer cells metabolise fat. ➡ Read more: bci.qmul.ac.uk/general-news/2… @QMULBartsTheLon | @CRUKCOLcentre
Many congratulations to Vidur Tandon - very nice thesis defence! As always, great to catch up with Kostas @TzelepisLab and George @VassiliouLab in Cambridge @SCICambridge
Congratulations to our @SCICambridge MPhil student Vidur Tandon for passing his viva with flying colours 🔥🎉👏🏻 Immensely grateful to our superstar examiners @kamilkranc and @VassiliouLab!! #ProudPI
This says a lot that is fantastic about our country. We should be celebrating it more.
As always, me, @hannahjlawson and others in my Team @ICR_London were delighted to collaborate with @PaoloGallipoli and @VilmaDembitz, this time on their study discovering SCD as a potential therapeutic target in AML. Congrats Paolo and the Team!
We are very pleased to announce that our work on Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) inhibition in AML has now been published in @LeukemiaJnl Link here rdcu.be/dR0r3 Below link to a tweetorial I wrote when we published the preprint Since then the paper has been updated 1
Great work exploring fatty acid desaturation as a therapeutic target in AML. Delighted to see this out & contribute to this work! Was a real pleasure to collaborate on this!

V excited to be speaking at the @Crick_SCF on Thursday about our work on hypoxia in AML. If you’re in London, come listen & get free beer & pizza!!
Join us for our second SCF session of the year! We are excited to introduce our speakers for the day, see the poster below!
We would like to thank the 100+ basic #hematology researchers for joining us for #EHAReCon2024. This meeting, focused on molecular vulnerabilities & metabolism in hematological disorders, featured unpublished research & new connections. Stay tuned for #EHAReCon2025.
A superstar! Couldn’t be prouder of Dr Durko - can’t wait to visit you in NYC!
Very proud of Dr Jozef Durko, who has just passed his PhD viva @QMBCI. Many thanks to @Keeshanlab and @RhysMorganLab for examining! Best of luck with your move to @iannisaifantis1 lab in New York. Jozef is a great young scientist and will be missed in London!
Looking to model human AML chemotherapy in vivo? We’ve just published a great resource from another successful collaborative project between the @PaoloGallipoli & @kamilkranc labs ⬇️
In another piece of good news, I am pleased to say that our paper on how to model AML chemotherapy in NBSGW mice is now published @Hemasphere_EHA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/he…
Couldn’t be prouder of the bday girl @LydiaMWang1 who smashed her talk at #RNAUK2024 on our project targeting m6A RNA readers in AML @BCI_RNAHUB @ICR_London @kamilkranc 🔥🔬

We are ready to start! Welcome to #RNAUK2024 @kamilkranc @FKHM @hannahjlawson @MapperleyChris
Some eager attendees are ready to go! 😉 Come pick up your badges & some @Novogene_Europe treats! #RNAUK2024
