If you work on the DNA damage response, take a look at the EMBO Workshop on Evolution and Diversity of the DNA Damage Response (Feb 23–27, 2027, in Bengaluru, India). There are plenty of speaking slots for trainees selected from submitted abstracts! meetings.embo.org/event/27-d…

Can’t believe summer is behind us! ☀️ Looking back on a busy few months at @GambitBio, a key highlight was our CEO @tiffany_s_ma & CCO Lee attending the AI, Data & Quantum parliamentary roundtable at the UK House of Lords. 🏛️ #gambitbio

Excited to share our new paper from Sara J. Buhrlage lab & @ChowdhuryLab! We designed CAS-010, a selective, low nanomolar USP28 inhibitor that reduces p53 transcriptional activity, mimics p53 pathway loss & disrupts 53BP1-USP28 binding, offering new insights into USP28 function.
