Excited to have been part of this work! Congratulations @BiancastellaC and all co-authors!
Thought 5hmC was located mostly on the DNA? Our latest preprint shows it's in the RNA of cancer cells - we could also see it beautifully in the cytoplasm of TNBC breast cancer and colon cancer tissues! 🧬 1/3 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Over 100 #PancreaticCancer researchers joined us in Birmingham last week for #PCUKForum2025 🔬
Two great days of discussion & debate around key research challenges in the field plus plenty of opportunities for networking & collaboration.
Thanks to everyone who came along!

And that’s a wrap! I’ve enjoyed so much the #PCUKForum2025! Thank you @PancreaticCanUK for organizing this annually. Such a great opportunity to have the time to discuss and talk to all involved in pancreatic cancer research 💜
Final session at #PCUKForum2025 @jen_morton chairs panel discussing therapeutic innovations for #PancreaticCancer & improving clinical translation.
Thanks to panel @BiffiGiulia @claus_jorgensen @BristiBasu8 @ShivanSivakumar @MichelleDGarre2 @HemnatKoch76708 Ganesh Radhakrishna.

It’s fantastic to have a number of people with lived experience of #PancreaticCancer joining us at this year’s #PCUKForum2025.
This afternoon they are helping to lead discussions on purposeful #PPIE & turning insight into impact in research.

It's officially #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth! 💜
Pancreatic cancer is hard to diagnose and difficult to treat, so early detection can help save lives.
Symptoms can be vague and may vary. But by raising awareness, more people will know the signs to look out for.

Each symptom is categorized under acronyms like TINT, TUMS, BURPS, BACKS, and BUMS, all set against a purple background.
Extremely proud of Shraddha, research assistant in my lab, for winning this year’s Images of Research award🥇! She captured a beautiful picture showing the complex nature of #PancreaticCancer. Huge congratulations on this achievement! @vanGeestCancer @NTUBIOSCIENCES @NTUNews

Text instructs to contact a GP or NHS 111 if these symptoms are present, and to visit A&E for jaundice. Reminder that these symptoms could have multiple causes.
Thrilled to contribute to the Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity this February. Can’t wait to show some science to little ones and families, including my daughters 🤩

70 years after the discovery of the structure of DNA, could it now become a Lego structure? 🧱
MSc Bioengineering student Daniel has designed @Lego_DNA that will become an official Lego set if it gets 10,000 supporters
Help turn it into a reality👇
