Excited to advertise this post-doc position in the Davidson Death Lab. Here, we'll live-image tumour cell death in diverse Drosophila tumour models to learn how different types of cancer learn to live with cell death.

This work started as a back-burner, "what even is this?" project in 2018. What a journey it has been. Many thanks to co-authors in the Wood and the Overholtzer labs. nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Very pleased to have been awarded this funding: crucial and timely support to help establish the lab and feels good to have our first funding! Thank you AMS!
HUGE congratulations to @UofGCancerSci’s Dr Andrew Davidson who was successful in the latest round of @acmedsci Springboard funding. He will study the importance of how tumour cells die, and the role this process plays in disease progression.
