Our latest study on the discovery and therapeutic targeting of cancer-associated cell surface RBPs is now published in @NatureBiotech 🔥🔥
This exciting work that identified and characterised NPM1 as a glycoRNA-associated cell surface protein, was co-led by Ryan Flynn (@BostonChildrens) and co-driven by 2 incredible scientists:
Maria Eleftheriou (@SCICambridge, @Cambridge_Uni) & Benson George (@DanaFarber, @Harvard)
I am greatly thankful to all co-authors that contributed to this work and grateful to our generous funders (@wellcometrust and @LeukUK) for their continuous support of our science.

A big moment for people affected by blood cancer!
We funded research @SCICambridge showing that metformin – a drug used to treat diabetes – could prevent acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer.

The potency of abnormal genetic fusion in chronic myeloid leukaemia in our latest study @Nature 👉🏽 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… This cancer is an oddity - one of the few single genetic “hit” cancers, a short trajectory (few years) from start to diagnosis, and explosive growth.

Insights from the first spatial atlas of the developing human thymus show that the human immune system is ‘ready to go’ long before birth 🔎
In the future, this could help scientists engineer new ways to treat immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, and cancer.
