Happening now: CML 2L TKI and beyond clinical case studies, one being delivered by @horne_gillian @POG_LRC @UofGCancerSci on last day of #BSH2025
We are so proud to have @horne_gillian as part of our team here at POG!
It’s #TYACAM! Meet our team on the @UofGlasgow insta takeover!
New paper alert! Prof. Mhairi Copland has recently published a paper on CML, designed for medial students to understand more about the disorder!

Meet our inaugural #MeetTheResearcher: Director Prof. Mhairi Copland! Prof. Copland earned her PhD on novel drug combinations to eradicate Ph+/BCR::ABL+ stem cells in CML at the University of Glasgow under our own Prof. Tessa Holyoake. @CoplandMhairi
Exciting news! On Monday, we’re starting a new series titled ‘Meet The Researcher’ - In this series, we will introduce group leaders, post-doctoral researchers, and PhD students here at POG!
Watch this space!
New Studentship Alert!
We have a new and exciting studentship working with @LabWheadon and @horne_gillian titled: ‘Overcoming myeloid leukaemic stem cell persistence and chemoresistance in the endosteal niche’.
Look at the happy supervisors!
(More details below) 👇
The project will utilise a novel and fully developed in vitrohumanised 3D self-structuring bone model to investigate leukaemic stem cell persistence and behaviour within short-term (<3 months) and long-term (>1 year) culture.
We hope you enjoy them! Well done to everyone involved
A huge thank you to @POG_LRC and their families for dropping off some toys for our Festive Appeal!
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my group leaders gave to me…
Twelve projects pending,

Ten late-night emails,
Nine gels resolving,
Eight primers ordered

Happy Christmas!!
We are hiring!!
We are looking for a research assistant/ associate to get involved in an EPSRC Programme Grant that aims to engineer an in vitro bone marrow niche to control stem cell regulation, metastatic evolution and cancer dormancy
Apply below 👇

This project will focus on cell-to cell interactions and how the architecture of the bone marrow niche is remodelled during malignancy. LSCs dormancy and chemoprotective properties of the bone marrow niche will be areas of interest.
