Proud and excited to receive a @DFF_raad grant for the startup of my translational renal cancer research group at @moma_dk #renalcancer
28 lovende, yngre forskere har netop modtaget bevillinger for 78 millioner kroner under Inge Lehmann-programmet, der har til formål at fremme mere ligestilling i forskningsmiljøer i Danmark. #dkforsk Læs mere og se projekterne her👇 dff.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/28-fo…

Thrilled to share our latest paper on #mutationalsignatures recently published in @CellGenomics 🙌 Thanks so much to everyone that made SigProfilerExtractor a reality, especially Ludmil, @mishugeb, Mark and @VangaraRaviteja. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.xgen.2022.…

1/3 New powerful #AI, produced by #CancerGrandChallenges researchers and published in @CellGenomics, identifies 4 new #mutationalsignatures – including the long-sought-after link between #tobacco and #bladdercancer. Find out more: tinyurl.com/48svmp83

*Communication is everything* In our latest work we found that histone-H3.3 mutation in the #bone dysregulates the communication between osteoclasts and osteoblasts driving giant cell #tumour of the bone. #celldeathdifferentiation @cddpress nature.com/articles/s41418-0…

I could not have done this without a @CRUKresearch travel grant, nor without the support of @NischalanP to pursue this line of research, or Ludmil Alexandrov for seeing the potential in the method! 2/2 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

We have expanded our previous method of copy number signatures developed in sarcomas to identify a reference set of pan-cancer copy number signatures. These are available on @cosmic_sanger now! 1/2 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Super excited to share our opinion article @IMalanchi and @fcicca from @TheCrick on @TrendsCellBio. We aim to add a new perspective to cancer initiation by asking two simple questions: 1) How does a mutant cell gain tumorigenic potential? cell.com/trends/cell-biology…

If you are a data scientist (or just good at coding, machine learning, maths and stats) this is your chance to contribute to #COVID19 critical care! Help doctors find out what they can do to help maximise the survival rate of ICU patients? #datasaveslives
