Pleased to share this new publication by @Dr_Alex_Eustace and I, investigating the non-transcriptional role of mutant TP53 in calcium mediated apoptosis. @DCUFSH
14 May 2025
🔬Exciting #TNBC research! @DCUFSH @DCU scientists @Dr_Alex_Eustace and @DR_PB1 show TP53 mutations reduce calcium-driven apoptosis, which can be overcome by p53 reactivation, revealing promising new TNBC treatment✅

Congratulations @JohnRed_DCU. Well deserved. Some very nice work on collagen-based scaffolds as a 3D model for breast cancer. Good luck on the next chapter. @DCU_Cancer @DCU @DCUFSH
Congratulations to @JohnRed_DCU on doing an excellent job in his PhD viva today. John's research focused on the development of a collagen-based scaffold as a 3D breast cancer model. Proudly supervised by @njdunne_lab @TLevingstone @DR_PB1 @DCUEngineering @DCU_Cancer

Is personalised medicine the answer to stopping prostate cancer? Researchers are investigating targetted drugs to prevent the build up of calcium in cells which promotes prostate cancer, writes @DR_PB1 @DCUSNPCH @DCU @IrishResearch rte.ie/brainstorm/2023/0308/…

Volume of research vs. 5-year survival by type of cancer.
Good news: no cancer type is in the bottom left quadrant of this graph. Still so much to be done, even for those at the top right quadrant.
5 years: since when this is much time to live?
