@kamilkranc @hannahjlawson @ICR_London @PaoloGallipoli Thanks Kamil! It's always a pleasure to work with you and your team! I'm looking forward to new collaborations!

🔎 Investigators with Dr. @VilmaDembitz at @QMBCI identified stearoyl-CoA desaturase as prognostic of patients' outcomes and showed that SCD inhibition ⛔ is a therapeutic vulnerability across multiple #AML models.

@jeansarry @PaoloGallipoli Wohoooo! It's going to be a great project!

@PaoloGallipoli @AoifeMagee95 @QMBCI @NRodriguesLab @robertobellell1 Congratulations!!! Great work from both of you in difficult pandemic times. Hopefully things will be smooth sailing from now on. :-) Hugs to @AoifeMagee95 !

[Vilma Dembitz @VilmaDembitz]

Very proud to have participated in this phenomenal project! https://t.co/ORxb6OVG33 Congratulations to everyone involved but especially @hannahjlawson and @kamilkranc ! I hope this is just the first of many collaborations!

[Hannah Lawson @hannahjlawson]

So happy to share our paper in @NatureCancer. https://t.co/uQCpE4gP4P We discovered that HIF hydroxylases are therapeutic targets in AML & with @SchofieldOxford showed that current or novel inhibitors (IOX5), selectively kill AML cells, and synergise with Venetoclax. 1/4.

A postdoctoral position in my lab. The project will leverage previous work and a recently performed CRISPR screen to optimise delivery of specific metabolic therapies in AML. If you are interested please DM me. Pls retweet

Quite worrying, although interesting to find out I'm not really lonely in decision not to practice.
