We are saddened to share the news that our friend and colleague Dr Shoshana Squires has passed away.
Shosh was a much loved and respected associate of ours for many years, enriching our lives with her science, passion, warmth and humour. She will be remembered with much fondness.

A new paper from the Jackson Group in collaboration with the lab of Julian Stingele at LMU München, sheds light on how the widely used leukaemia drug azacytidine works, revealing that the drug disrupts how cancer cells make proteins.

Congratulations to Jackson Group PhD student Chen Gang Goh for achieving a place as a finalist in the STEM for Britain competition. Recently he was invited to the Houses of Parliament to present his research, meet the judging panel and network with fellow finalists.

Ever noticed that #CRISPR editing results differ between cells? Awesome PhD student @MSchlapansky developed "scOUT-seq" to measure single cell transcriptomes + editing. 1.2 million cells, 74 cell types, living 🐭. Cell subtypes differ wildly from bulk! https://t.co/oiYrWMrhN5

The @SPJacksonGroup were very sad to hear the news of John's death. We were very privileged to work in the @GurdonInstitute for many years, benefitting from John's insight and wisdom. He inspired so many. We send our deepest condolences to his family and all who knew him.

[Gurdon Institute @GurdonInstitute]

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of our founder, colleague, mentor, and friend, Professor Sir John Gurdon. His vision and dedication will continue to inspire generations of scientists.

[Cambridge University @Cambridge_Uni]

We're very proud of what we've achieved through our partnership with @AstraZeneca.

We've made progress for patients, we've trained brilliant young scientists and we've helped to build a world-leading life sciences cluster. Here's to the next 10 years 🤝

We are so excited to see this collaboration now published

[Giuseppina D'Alessandro @GiuseppinaDAle9]

Happy to share that our recent work on the role of USP37 in counteracting the ubiquitylation and premature disassembly of stressed replisomes by TRAIP is now out. A fantastic collaboration with Olga Kochenova in @FrogWalterLab,@GS_Lab_Bham,@SPJacksonGroup https://t.co/fxq4VVqW9c

Our Simon Lam developed the user-friendly web portal to freely share this map of interactions, https://t.co/qP0nt8Bany, making this a global resource for all, to help identify therapeutic targets for cancer and other DDR-related diseases.

[Steve Jackson Lab @SPJacksonGroup]

Thrilled to see this “veritable tour de force” led by @John_C_Fielden from @jcornlab out @nature,https://t.co/p0VlZXgE4k. This @ERC_Research funded project uses #CRISPRi to systematically scan 548 DDR genes for synthetic lethal interactions, ~150,000 pairwise combinations!
