Thank you @elisapanada2607 for a great seminar today at @LivUniISMIB about @CellRepMed and the process of peer-reviewing scientific articles!

[Shadi Basyuni @shadibasyuni]

🧬Excited to share highlights from our latest publication demonstrating preservation of clinical utility with whole genome sequencing (WGS) data generated from routine FFPE cancer biopsies! 🧵#CancerGenomics @SerenaNikZainal @EarlyCancerCam @MedGen_UOC

PAPER OUT!!🥳
It's on kids with #XP
A DNA repair defective syndrome where patients are unable to fix UV damage in skin.
Used 2 die as kids from Skin Cancer.
No longer, thx 2 surveillance!
But now some live 2 adulthood & develop early-onset dementia..

Off to @uniofgalway for a two-day workshop on Cancer Genomics with @GenomicsCRT students. Looking forward to talks from @_ADegasperi @mnileathlobhair @jbond2019 @mcdade_lab and others

[Yun Rose Li @yunroseli]

Outstanding talks about environmental carcinogens and mutational signatures @myESMO #MAP2022 by @Lyonpaul from @IARCWHO and @_ADegasperi from @Cambridge_Uni and mini oral by @LimEmilia @TheCrick. Grateful to @CRUKresearch for the generous support!

[Colm Ryan @colmr]

Finishing up my PhD in 2012 I had a stipend of €18k. A decade later my students have a stipend that is only marginally higher (€18.5k, 3% increase). In the same time period rent for a single room in Dublin has gone up almost 70%. This is completely unsustainable.

[Signal @SignalCambridge]

To coincide with the team's paper release, Signal has been updated to include the more than 50 new mutational signatures across more than 18,000 cancer samples.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with @GenomicsEngland, @SerenaNikZainal and my fantastic colleagues. Our article published today is really a wonderful team effort! For the computational scientists, info on our updated R package is here: https://t.co/7J2jkVwykC

[Genomics England @GenomicsEngland]

This week on The G Word #sciencepodcast, @chris_wigley is joined by @SerenaNikZainal, a consultant in clinical genetics.

She discusses sharing data, personalised treatment for cancer patients and the impact of the 100,000 Genomes Project.

[Andrea Degasperi @_ADegasperi]

Written six years ago, I'm so happy that this paper has finally found a home, thanks to everyone involved!

[Andrea Degasperi @_ADegasperi]

@MarconSBSLab This project looks so cool Luciano!

[Serena Nik-Zainal @SerenaNikZainal]

Two roles available in our team😁! Postdoc & RA.

Looking 4:
decent human
hungry to learn
just
reflective
listener
team-player
able 2 treat others the way they'd expect 2 b treated themselves.

EVERYTHING else can be learned😉
