Do you want to do a PhD in cancer research in the world’s most beautiful city tinyurl.com/mtjk922p?
Thanks to the generosity of donors and @FlindersFound, I have a fully-funded PhD position in my lab starting 2025. For more info, check out tinyurl.com/bdh7j96t and/or DM me

Very intriguing paper in @Nature showing that memory formation involves a neuronal inflammatory process in the hippocampus, triggered by double stranded DNA breaks and the rupture of the nuclear envelope, with release of histones outside the nucleus! rdcu.be/dCGvK

Interested in prostate cancer lipid metabolism, androgen receptor and/or ferroptosis? Check out our new preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Awesome work from @RajShrestha1302 in collab with @LisaButler5 @zeiadnassar @HoyLipidLab @MattWattUnimelb and many other colleagues/friends

H3K9me3 is not sufficient for silencing endogenous retroviruses if DNA methylation is perturbed. In Dnmt1 ko endoderm cells, IAP elements fully maintain H3K9me3, while trancriptionally active.
great collaboration with @LickertHeiko

New paper alert! tinyurl.com/peryjbt5 In this study published in @CRC_AACR, our team led by @ReGhodsi found that a potent androgen can activate a viral mimicry response in prostate cancer cells
I am so thrilled to start my postdoctoral research in Prof Pete Nelson Lab @FredHutch to gain a deeper understanding into how #Androgen_Receptor control tumour behaviour in prostate cancer.

What the world needs more than sympathy and empathy is compassion.
Sympathy: I'm sorry you're in pain
Empathy: I feel your pain
Compassion: I'll do whatever I can to alleviate your pain
You don't have to feel other people's feelings. You just have to care about their feelings.

Great working with Patrick Tan and Kazu Ushijima on our invited Science review on "Mapping genomic and epigenomic evolution in cancer ecosystems" out today science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Human Genome Project @suscla1, @AEpiA, @GarvanInstitute

Bestor reveals that DNMT1 responds to regulatory inputs that control its localization and its activity, and that it is not only a maintenance methyltransferase but can participate in the de novo methylation of an essential compartment of the genome.

Dammit, time to re-write the textbooks again.... (btw it should be noted that Tim Bestor showed something similar in @jbiolchem a few years back). Meissner group, @NatureSMB nature.com/articles/s41594-0…
Thesis submitted; A nice day with my amazing supervisor A/Prof @LukeSelth. Thank you @LukeSelth for being such a great mentor.
Special thanks to Prof @WayneTilley12, A/Prof @DrTheresaHickey and @drmcrl team; it has been a great privilege to work under your leadership.

Ground-breaking work by @UniofAdelaide published in @NatureMedicine provides clear evidence that activation of androgen receptors suppresses tumor growth in estrogen sensitive breast cancer - a major step forward in breast cancer treatment. #StateOfScience
