Updates on what is happening.
Great news we have a new co-author publication in Oncogene! This work was in collaboration with Prof. Neil Wakins here at the Garvan Institute and focuses on the role of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Small cell lung cancer is a common, aggressive malignancy with universally poor prognosis. Full details can be found here [link] TITLE: "The role…
It was a great pleasure to be apart of this amazing research by Claire Venin and Paul Timpson, which was recently published in Science Translational Medicine, one of the very best journals in the world. Here is a brief intro into the research. ROCK-ing pancreatic cancer to the core Pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly and difficult-to-treat tumor types in…
Great news, we have had a co-author review published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Biology. You can check out the full review here. Abstract The major cause of death from breast cancer is not the primary tumour, but relapsing, drug-resistant, metastatic disease. Identifying factors that contribute to aggressive cancer offers important leads for therapy. Inherent defense against carcinogens…
8th Garvan Signalling Symposium Date: Monday 31st of October and Tuesday 1st of November 2016 Venue: The Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney Registration - Abstract submission to 15th of September 2016 The Garvan International Signalling Symposium is a premier meeting focused on the mechanisms of signal transduction. It began as a small meeting organised by Prof. Roger Daly around the…
Great News, our review on how phosphatase specificity is controlled during mitosis has been re-published in BioEssays and is now Online! This review was originally published in Inside the Cell, which unfortunately has shut down. But the good news is that it is still Open Access, so that means its free for everyone to read! And is now also indexed in…
A defining feature in over 2/3rds of all solid tumours is the continual loss and gain of whole are small parts of chromosomes. This instability, or CIN for short, strongly implicated in tumour initiation, progression, chemoresistance and poor prognosis. CIN is created through failures during mitosis, whereby whole or parts of a chromosome are segregated incorrectly, thereby created daughter cells…
