Today is World Cancer Day ⚕️
To raise awareness for cancer treatment and research, we asked Dr Omid Faridani, group leader of @UNSW @FaridaniLab, about his work using “single cell omics” to improve cancer treatments.
Read Dr Faridani’s insights by clicking on the images ⬇️

Thanks @NBCFAus! @FaridaniLab and I are excited to start this project, and extremely grateful to all the donors who have made this funding possible.

Thanks to NBCF funding, Prof Jeff Holst & Dr Omid Faridani have developed a pre-clinical model to test whether drugs can target breast cancer cells' addiction to glutamine & ultimately starve the cancer cells to death. Read more here: nbcf.org.au/project/evicting…

We value our partnership with @thermofisher. Great to catch up with the team during @GeneMappers. Their HT Propel workflow mean @ramacgenomics can process over 35K Axiom arrays per year. Yay for array!

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by:
1. reading widely,
2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality,
3. taking year-long sabbaticals.

Thrilled our work is out in @oncogenejournal. Led by metabolomics guru Lake-Ee Quek @Sydney_CRF we describe a new hardwired metabolic program in triple-negative breast cancer that couples glutamine, glucose and essential amino acid metabolism together. nature.com/articles/s41388-0… 1/7

I really admire the work that @RetractionWatch do, but I'm disappointed by the inaccuracies of this post. They emailed me at 3.33am on Wed 11th. I sent a detailed reply to all their questions less than 10hrs later, cc-ing my colleagues. (1/3) x.com/RetractionWatch/status…

The authors of a Nature paper on genetics from 2014 have retracted it, with near but not entire unanimity, after failing to reproduce the work.

Ph 2 JCOG1407: FOLFIRINOX (arm A) vs Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel (arm B) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
▶️No difference in OS, PFS, ORR
▶️More diarrhea with FOLFIRINOX, more hematologic toxicity with GnP
❗️ No evidence of FOLFIRINOX superiority. Again
