Extremely grateful for receiving the EHA advanced research grant!

Looking forward delving deeper into the disease mechanisms underlying AML.

Congratulations to all EHA award winners!

@carolinewatson @jrblundell @Nature Congratulations Caroline! Really happy to see this wonderful work published.

How does leukaemia develop? 🩸 How long does it take? ⏳

🌟 Our paper, started back when I was a PhD student in @jrblundell’s lab, is out today in @Nature 🌟

Yearly blood samples from women who developed AML in later life let us trace it back decades 👇

@jrblundell @Nature Congratulations Jamie, @carolinewatson and the others! Wonderful work!

[Jamie Blundell @jrblundell]

How do cancers emerge from healthy tissue? In @Nature today: leukaemia evolving in yearly blood samples up to 15 yrs before AML. First driver by age 20; each new driver multiplies growth 2–3×. A remarkably simple set of mathematical rules recapitulate it.

@VarvaraParask @NatImmunol Congratulations @VarvaraParask, well done!!!

[Varvara Paraskevopoulou @VarvaraParask]

Respiratory failure is a leading cause of death in AML.
It begins when leukemia infiltrates the lung. Almost nothing was known about what happens locally.
We looked.

Delighted to share our latest on longitudinal methylation dynamics preceding cancer. Epigenetic signs of AML appear in blood DECADES before Dx. By brilliant @__AFonseca

✅Early cancer
✅Methylation drivers
✅Epimutation rates

longcallD is a new variant caller for genomic long reads. It jointly calls phased small and structural variants. Single binary, one command line for the whole process. Comparable accuracy to mainstream callers. Great work by Yan Gao. https://t.co/ARWQ4TzfR5

The stomach is an organ unique in its function, environment and exposures. How does this affect the mutations that normal cells in the stomach acquire? What does this reveal about the origins of stomach cancer? These questions and more in our Nature paper:
