In case you missed it, check out our study showing the crucial and contextual role of inflammation via IL1b/IL1R1 signaling in progression of lung premalignant lesions and alveolar progenitors
Multimodal spatial-omics reveal co-evolution of alveolar progenitors and proinflammatory niches in progression of lung precursor lesions dlvr.it/TQsDXl

Proud to share our first TRACERx cancer study integrating epigenomics + genomics in NSCLC as co-drivers of tumor evolution.
Led by not me but by the wonderful @NnennayaKanu, @F_gimenoval, @ccastignani6, @VanLooLab

A new genome-wide #CRISPR screen identifies BACE1 as a driver of lung cancer #metastasis to the brain, suggesting that BACE1 inhibitors could be repurposed to prevent brain metastasis in #NSCLC. @sheilasinghlab @McMasterSurgery scim.ag/4eyJwtG

🔥New #review out! We explore how experimental models and high-throughput sequencing (or, all the ✨#omics✨) complement each other in #metastasis research. Bridging these approaches can unlock deeper insights into #cancer progression and #treatment
New online! Integrating model systems and genomic insights to decipher mechanisms of cancer metastasis bit.ly/3XC0xvy

While progress has been made in treating #NSCLC, patients would further benefit from earlier detection & interception. Here, Spira & colleagues explore advances in identifying premalignant lesions, & devise approaches for stratification + interventions.

I am extremely honoured to receive this award! This would not have been possible without the support of my mentors @CharlesSwanton @mmarra0630 @WishartLab Stephen Lam @renellemyers @PollutionLab. Thank you for continuing to nurture and inspire me!
🌟 Congratulations to Dr. Emilia Lim, recipient of the Dr. Victor Ling Terry Fox New Investigator Award! With $525K in funding, Dr. Lim will explore how air pollution promotes lung cancer, aiming to prevent pollution-related cases. 🧵

A big thank you to Dr. Victor Ling who graciously came out all the way to @ubclifesciences @UBCAging @UBCbiochemistry to celebrate with us! We appreciate all your words of wisdom and will treasure them for years to come!
I am grateful to @tfri_research for this prestigious award! They have supported me since I was a PhD student, through trainee awards and career development opportunities at their annual meetings. I am looking forward to continue doing great science with this wonderful team!
🚨Exciting news! TFRI has named five early-career scientists as the 2025 Terry Fox New Investigator awardees. With $2.6M in funding, they will advance critical research in melanoma, lung, brain, blood and pediatric cancers. Congratulations to the awardees! tfri.ca/updates/news/news-it…

Terry Fox started a marathon against cancer but couldn’t finish it. Others have been running in his honour since 1981. His battle was with cancer but his legacy is bringing people together. @TerryFoxCanada

A new study from Dr. @mmarra0630 ‘s lab identifies a potential treatment strategy for cancer patients with KMT2D gene mutations, while offering a technique to find other mutation-specific treatment options in the future.
Read the paper in @GenomeMedicine: doi.org/10.1186/s13073-024-0…

Overlaying the image is text that reads: New publication from the MATCH lab, November 2024, Genome Medicine. Mapping in silico genetic networks of the KMT2D tumour suppressor gene to uncover novel functional associations and cancer cell vulnerabilities.
