Presenting our latest manuscript out now in @SpringerNature @LeukemiaJnl exploring the biology around RUNX1 aberrations in blast-phase CML.
We've discovered the RBP SPATS2L is induced by RUNX1 loss impacting CML growth, survival and chemosensitivity

Proud to have worked on this project led by Emma Kennedy and @andrea_pepper2. Our systems biology models helped show why leukaemia cells respond differently across patients.

🔬 New research involving our funded researcher Prof. Simon Mitchell @SiFTW is helping reveal why CLL responds differently to treatment between patients, including how leukaemia cells can change their survival strategy when treatment stops working.

Good luck to Dr Aimilia Vareli from the @SiFTW group in @BSMSMedSchool who's moving to Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Follows on from winning 1st prize for best short talk at the annual NFkB meeting in Barcelona for her work targeting in DLBCL! 👏👏👏

Busy month for our NFkB research teams in
@BSMSMedSchool!
@SiFTW & @ChrisPepper64 groups visited and presented at the annual NFKB meeting in Barcelona, then at the Brighton Tumour Microenvironment conference with Simon presenting the lab's latest data at both meetings!
👏👏👏

Pleased to finally see this out. Congratulations to all the authors and thanks to the reviewers and editors for their support during the publication journey. Especially thanks to the @The_MRC and @wellcometrust for funding and @TheCIMR and @MRC_LMB for infrastructure and support.

Today in @NatRevDrugDisc (#NRDD), we proudly present a timely Perspective on the overall druggable landscape of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), with a strong emphasis on the recent and exciting scientific advances around cell surface RBPs (csRBPs) in disease.
Many congratulations and a big thank you to my absolutely amazing colleague @GaiaTimote98110 for putting this inspiring piece together, as well as to my fantastic collaborators and key experts in the field, @AbdelWahablab, Ryan Flynn, and Benson George for their very important contributions!
We hope that our Perspective will benefit the wider scientific community by providing a clearer understanding of the therapeutic potential of targeting RBPs and csRBPs.
