Today is World Cancer Day ⚕️

To raise awareness for cancer treatment and research, we asked Dr Omid Faridani, group leader of @UNSW @FaridaniLab, about his work using “single cell omics” to improve cancer treatments.

This weekend, I'm trekking the stunning Blue Mountains #GutsyChallenge to raise funds and awareness for gastrointestinal cancer research #GICancerInstitute, a cause that claims the lives of 38 Australians daily. Please support me here: https://t.co/HUlQpiR4NH

Thanks @NBCFAus! @FaridaniLab and I are excited to start this project, and extremely grateful to all the donors who have made this funding possible.

We value our partnership with @thermofisher. Great to catch up with the team during @GeneMappers. Their HT Propel workflow mean @ramacgenomics can process over 35K Axiom arrays per year. Yay for array!

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by:
1. reading widely,
2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality,
3. taking year-long sabbaticals.

(1/3) Congratulations to #BaskinEngineering Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering @Ali__Shariati__ for winning the Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA/R35)! 👏👏 @ucscbme https://t.co/XUFBUULNRX

[Jeff Holst @DrJeffHolst]

Thrilled our work is out in @oncogenejournal. Led by metabolomics guru Lake-Ee Quek @Sydney_CRF we describe a new hardwired metabolic program in triple-negative breast cancer that couples glutamine, glucose and essential amino acid metabolism together. https://t.co/Uzk38vT3Xi 1/7

@dralexswarbrick @DrKateGuan Thanks Alex for sharing your exciting research. Great to see that high level of science and technology was utilised to solve real clinical problems.

[Omid Faridani @FaridaniLab]

@HamidRokny I wonder who that team member could be 🤔

[Omid Faridani @FaridaniLab]

@chris_zie @naturemethods Congrats Chris!

[Christoph Ziegenhain @chris_zie]

So excited to see our ✨🧬'Molecular spikes'🧬✨ RNA spike-ins out in @naturemethods 📃 Since the preprint, we have completely overhauled the design & produced a completely new expanded set of spikes, so check it out: https://t.co/dd7pyQV28J
