See below our latest paper showing the potential to influence the natural history of clonal haematopoiesis and raising hope that we may be able to prevent its progression to AML. Congratulations to Steve Chan and Jen Trowbridge for their excellent papers supporting the same !

February is National Cancer Prevention Month❗ This month, we’re recognizing the scientific excellence of Dr. George Vassiliou from @Cambridge_Uni. His research identifies patients at high risk for myeloid blood cancer and aims to find ways to prevent it. 🩸

This #WorldCancerDay we’re launching a transformative £4 million research project to establish a clinical platform that identifies people at high risk of certain blood cancers.
How will it improve people's lives? Watch our film to find out how!

Thank you to Robert Hasserjian for a valuable perspective in the Hematologist on predictive models developed by our team and our close friends and colleagues at DFCI.
Here’s our new paper on the prevalence and significance of DDX41 gene variants in the general population. Thank you to Sruthi and to all of our team !

Our manuscript describing MB-Predict, a platform for calculating myeloid neoplasia risk, has just been published at Nature Genetics. Thank you to Muxin, Pedro and all our team members and collaborators. See here for more: doi.org/10.1038/s41588-023-0…
Look out for our new postdoc vacancy coming out this week here: stemcells.cam.ac.uk/join-us/…
BIG THANK YOU to my co-leads @siddhartha_kar and
@pedromquiros and all co-authors including @stevesphd, @SlavePetrovski and @muxin_gu. A great lockdown story !! I look forward to more !!

Using genome sequencing, researchers have discovered how leukaemia-associated gene mutations hijack blood cell production over the years, and how this relates to ageing and cancer development.

Over time, human cells acquire DNA mutations. For the first time, researchers have been able to understand the past, present and future of mutations in our blood cells, and how these relate to ageing and cancer development.

Good news !
Our article titled "The longitudinal dynamics and natural
history of clonal haematopoiesis" has just been published onlline. It has been joyous to work with Marga, Jose, Moritz and our collaborators on this exciting story! Thank you all ! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

1/ Haematologists have to look at the shape of 1,000s of blood cells in peripheral blood smears (PBS) to study haematological conditions. What if computers could help them?
In a new preprint, we detect and analyse millions of blood cells to do just this.
