Introducing….Dr Truscott!!! We are all very proud of you and your achievements. Can’t wait to see what you do next. @Becky_Truscott @ITSR_Group @DrScienceOwl @hwest01 @WalesGenePark A huge thanks to the examiners and chair for such a positive viva experience!

[Laura Thomas @drlaura_thomas]

Sad not to be at #CGAIGC23 this year @CGAIGC but very grateful to the organisers for allowing me to present work from my group virtually @Becky_Truscott @ITSR_Group @SwanseaMedicine. Hope to see you all next year! Contact me if you want to join the MAP duodenal polyposis study!

We’ve had the best time in Vilnius @EHTGtweets Great scientific programme and fun with @aletheatang @deanharris81 ! #EHTG2023

[Laura Thomas @drlaura_thomas]

Great to have contributed to the Welsh part of this report. case study (pg60) on our @ResearchWales funded fellowships @hwest01. Looking forward to getting involved with discussions about the future of rare disease research in wales @ResearchWales @GenomicsWales @WalesGenePark

There are 2⃣ forms of #FAP: classic and attenuated.

People with attenuated FAP grow fewer #polyps and at a later age. They may not develop #polyposis (numerous colon polyps) until their 40s or 50s.

What a fun evening that was! Many thanks to all who came to @GenomicsWales #GPWGenomicsAfterDark @Techniquest tonight! A very big thanks to our brilliant speaker Dr @alexmurray1312 & our fabulous exhibitors @GenomicsWales @ITSR_Group @drlaura_thomas @Becky_Truscott @MedGenWales

[Becky Truscott @Becky_Truscott]

Had a fab time in Mallorca for @EHTGtweets, hearing about all the exciting research happening and was great to have the opportunity to present our work on duodenal disease in MAP. The sunshine was an added bonus 😎 Thanks to @GenSocUK for the travel grant to allow me to come!
