🚨 pre-print alert 🚨 Very excited to share our work on how chomotherapy affects cell-to-cell communication. If you are interesting in #p53, #DNAdamage, #scRNA-seq have a read! Thanks to all authors 🤩@NTUBIOSCIENCES @vanGeestCancer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Thank you to everyone who joined the NTU Researchers at Clifton Library Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity. @NottsFOSAC
It was great to share in the Nottingham Festival of Science. Lovely cell shapes made by kids! @NTUBIOSCIENCES @MarkChrist_Lab @vanGeestCancer @NTU_Metabolism @ntu_research
What a great morning of science fun @NottsFOSAC 🧬 🧫 🧪 Thanks to all wonderful kids and parents that came along and got involved in many fun science activities! Thanks to all @NTUSciTech students and staff from @NTUBIOSCIENCES and @NTUEng that made it happen!
Fantastic sessions at Clifton Library today for @NottsFOSAC 🥳Our departments of @NTUEng and @NTUBIOSCIENCES along with PhD students ran fun experiments, including extracting DNA from strawberries, explaining how the brain works and why some animals can see in the dark! 👀
When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: scim.ag/3WWWoSD
Today is #WorldCancerDay 🌍 and we’re standing with everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. If you or someone you know has pancreatic cancer, we are here for you. To speak to one of our specialist nurses, email at [email protected] or call 0808 801 0707. 💜
Thrilled to contribute to the Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity this February. Can’t wait to show some science to little ones and families, including my daughters 🤩
NTU is a partner of the Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity, which is returning in Feb - bringing a week of free, hands-on science activities for young people. 👉Learn more: ntu.ac.uk/about-us/news/…
70 years after the discovery of the structure of DNA, could it now become a Lego structure? 🧱 MSc Bioengineering student Daniel has designed @Lego_DNA that will become an official Lego set if it gets 10,000 supporters Help turn it into a reality👇 ideas.lego.com/projects/c92cd…
It took 3 years, 4 rounds of reviews, 96 VISIUM samples, 10 cancer types, and 1 clinical trial, but it's finally out: The spatial landscape of Cancer Hallmarks reveals patterns of tumor ecological dynamics and drug sensitivity Here's what's new 👇 cell.com/cell-reports/f…
Time for my lab picture update! Almigdad, second year PhD, Shiv, research assistant and Eden, MRes student. Very thankful for such great team! #ncRNAs #PancreaticCancer 🔬 🧬 🧫 🥼
Congratulations to my PhD Almigdad for receiving a poster prize at the Cancer Research Nottingham Symposium 2025 today! Keep up the good work! #lncRNA #PancreaticCancer 🏆🤩 #proudPI @vanGeestCancer @NTUBIOSCIENCES @ntu_research
🟣Today is #WorldPancreaticCancerDay 🟣 My mission is to help defeating this deadly cancer ‼️ My lab @vanGeestCancer @NTUBIOSCIENCES investigates the role of #noncodingRNAs as #biomarkers and #therapeutic targets in #PancreaticCancer 🔬 🧬 👩🔬. Inspired everyday by you nonna 💜
11-8-23 my dear grandma left us. She was 89, perfectly fit, #PancreaticCancer killed her in 2 months. She lived for her family, mum of 5, grandma of 16 and greatgran of 6. It will be very hard now but I promise you I will try my best to make you proud and kick this cancer ass 💜
