Warmest congratulations to Milena who defended her PhD thesis on Oct 13, 2023. Milena used phenotypic CRISPR screens to identify new regulators of Hedgehog signalling during neural development.
Congrats to Sofia who graduated with her MSc on August 30th. Sofia examined the effects of a novel Frizzled agonist on blood brain barrier permeability.
Registration is now open! The 2023 GRC on Wnt signaling is scheduled for July 30 - August 4, 2023 at Rey Don Jaime Grand Hotel, Castelldefels, Spain. The associated GRS is scheduled for July 29 - July 30 at the same location. @TalksWnt@GordonConf https://t.co/ATZKsH91Yr
Super proud of Dr. Pierre Thibeault @frenchnerd who received a CIHR fellowship for his work unravelling mechanisms underlying Wnt signalling in endothelial cells. Super well deserved! @angerslab@DonnellyCentre
"It’s a fantastic place with enormous possibilities" - @UofT Professor Stephane Angers outlines his scientific vision for the Donnelly Centre as its incoming director from Sep 1. Learn more from this great piece by @blakeeligh@uoftmedicine https://t.co/n8Pfdgg6Ou
Following the cancellation of the 2021 Wnt Gordon Research Conference, many people from the Wnt community asked whether there would be a "virtual Wnt meeting" or an opportunity to present talks online... 1/n
Brain tumours might be spurred by an injury, Donnelly Centre investigators & colleagues @SickKidsNews@PMResearch_UHN have found.
The research out in @NatureCancer opens up new ideas about the origin of #glioblastoma and how to combat it.

Out now in @NatureCancer: https://t.co/Z5wVPGHUmN. On track from developmental to injury response state, GBM stem cells get derailed (we think by pre-existing mutations or CNVs) and begin churning out bulk cancer cells. Hunting now for pre-GSC cells that lie dormant until injured
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Pierre Thibeault @frenchnerd who is joining the lab as a PDF on Jan 4,2021. Pierre completed his thesis in the Ramachandran lab @RayWyke at Western.
Researchers identified a protein that supports the growth of many colorectal cancers. The JCB study https://t.co/cVbQjFSGE8 reveals that Importin-11 transports the cancer-causing protein βcatenin into the nucleus, where it drives cell proliferation https://t.co/hwuxQMQdlu
New pub from the lab, collab with Sidhu: https://t.co/QLrQaUZ261 where we describe a new Ab modality mimicking Wnt proteins and enabling selective activation of Frizzled receptors. Congrats to all involved :
