It's PRECISE's 10th Birthday! PRECISE started 10 years ago today, January 12 2015. The OG group consisted of 3 @OfficialUoM staff, who have since moved on from the University, along with support from 2 staff members from @TheChristieNHS who are still working with the group today

The PRECISE group moved through several office spaces including The Christie, The Paterson Building, the Oglesby Cancer Research Building, and the Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre before moving to our home in the Proton Beam Therapy Building in 2018, located at The Christie.

Happy New Year! Precise is officially back to work for 2025 and it's going to be a great year.
January is a big month for us, Precise turns 10! Follow along as we highlight some of the work we've done, our team and where we're headed in the next 10 years.

We're taking a break and signing off for 2024 to enjoy the holidays with our family and friends.
It's been a great year and we'll be back new year!
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!

This week Charlie is using our @thermofisher WellWash Versa with our robot BRUC;E! This method for automated fixing of cells is great for those difficult time-points in the middle of the night or experiments under hypoxic conditions.

Describe your research in one sentence.
Joseph Hallett, PhD student with PRECISE says: "My work aims to understand the effects of proton and x-ray radiation on Fanconi Anaemia cells, which have an inherited DNA repair defect".

We're describing our research as part of the PRECISE team in one sentence. Check out what Charlotte Heaven had to say:
"I look at what happens to the DNA in cells after we irradiate them both in the lab and using computer simulations".
Check out Charlotte's bio below.

Some of our PRECISE team participated in 'I’m a Scientist get me out of here recently. This initiative is a student-led STEM enrichment activity. It connects school students with scientists through energetic real-time text-based chats.

The team had a great time and the favourite question of the day was from a 6 year old participant: "How do you make science?". We're still working on the best response for them. Any suggestions?

Describe your research in 1 sentence: Emma Biglin, PRECISE team:
My research uses 3D printed plastic mice with radiation detectors or 3D cell models to simulate experiments and improve preclinical dosimetry whilst replacing, reducing and refining the use of animals in research.

Up first, PRECISE Group Lead @mikeyt23
Dr Taylor has expertise in radiation detection and measurement, and Monte-Carlo radiation transport simulations. His research aims to improve proton beam therapy for patient benefit through development of novel techniques and technologies.

We thought a great way to kick off our new social media channels would be to introduce you to the PRECISE Group. Over the next few weeks we'll showcase our team so you can get to know us. Up first - our group lead, Dr. Mike Taylor.

Let us re-introduce ourselves! A few things have changed during our 'accidental' break so we're going to catch you up. We'll be sharing our PRECISE team group bios and a little about our research over the next couple weeks.
