Lab of Prof. Richard Gilbertson!
Our lab works on the Cellular and molecular origins of cancer particularly pediatric brain tumors and stem cell potency.
In recognition of #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth I was honoured to be invited to the inaugural CENOS Symposium at the wonderful @StJudeResearch with a focus on Rising Stars in Paediatric Neurooncology. Thank you to all of the organisers and colleagues for an incredible symposia
We were delighted to welcome The GlioBabes into our lab to record an episode of their podcast with Dr Jessica Taylor.
Search for the The GlioBabes Podcast to hear about the day-to-day role of researchers and how they are focusing on gentler as well as more effective treatments.
Huge congratulations to Joey, 2nd year student with the @Gilbertson_Lab & @JavedKhanOmics (@NIHOxCam programme), for presenting his poster at the @AACR Special Conference in Cancer Research: Brain Cancer and winning the Scholar in Training Award! 🧠👏 Well deserved! #AACRbrain26
Pleased to share that I will be recruiting a PhD student beginning in Michaelmas (Oct) 2025 at @CRUK_CI jointly supervised by @Gilbertson_Lab- if you are interested in our recent work, and considering a PhD at @Cambridge_Uni, please see the link below

Fantastic work from first author @elizabetha_coop and the team, revealing a new immune pathway with real therapeutic promise for childhood brain cancers.👏🎉🎊 @NatureGenet@CRUK_CI

A newly discovered immune pathway could lead to gentler treatments for multiple childhood brain cancers, according to new research from our @Gilbertson_Lab published today in @NatureGenet .
Listen to first author @elizabetha_coop discuss their findings.

So excited to be be awarded a project grant with @BRUKresearch to continue my work in the @Gilbertson_Lab to map immune defences in the developing brain, and how these may be subverted in paediatric disease - you can read more below!

🎉 Congratulations to Demi, a 2nd-year student in the @Gilbertson_Lab , for delivering an excellent flash talk and winning the poster prize at the @CRUK_CI Annual Institute Retreat! 👏#Metastasis#CancerResearch
Pleased to share our latest preprint, led by @elizabetha_coop ✨🎉 uncovering how childhood brain tumours instruct cranial haematopoiesis and shape immunotolerance in CNS development.

Very excited to share our latest preprint – We find that childhood brain tumours instruct cranial haematopoiesis allowing immunotolerance of childhood brain tumours and CNS development. A thread 1/11
