📢Another great collaboration with Neale Ridgway @DalMedSchool on the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein and lipids. Here we show how induction of inner nuclear membrane (INM) curvature stress leads to PML II patches at the INM. Check it out 👇

Dr Wallace and her team have uncovered a previously un-described “Atlantic Cancer Syndrome” among a cohort of 2000 patients operated on for lung cancer. We are working to revise prevention and screening strategies.

Dietary supplementation of haskap berry inhibits the P450-activated NNK carcinogenic metabolite formation. Hence, anthocyanin supplementation could be a strategy to reduce lung cancers among smokers.
