#AICRIstart are at the #IACR 2025 meeting in Belfast. Come and chat with Abhishek @abhi_NUIG21 and Metin @metinyazar this morning! @News_IACR

I would also like to thank my supervisor @colmr and @AlCRIproject @hea_irl for their tremendous support.

Huge thanks for the invitation for seminar at @erasmusuni Gastroenterology & Hepatology Department. I thoroughly enjoyed presenting on Cas9-CRISPR analysis methods and exploring the mechanisms of drug resistance to synthetic lethal therapies in cancer.

[All-Island Cancer Research Institute (AICRI) @AlCRIproject]

Congratulations on your presentation and poster! We're thrilled to see the impactful work you're contributing to the field. Your dedication to exploring mechanisms of drug resistance is inspiring, and we're proud to support researchers like you through the #AICRIstart programme.

Looking forward to seeing more of your exceptional work @metinyazar

[Liam Gallagher @WaterfordMafia]

Well done, Metin! Great to see. Thanks for support from #AICRIstart funded via @hea_irl #NSRP @ucddublin

“Had a fantastic time presenting my lightning talk and poster on mechanisms of drug resistance to synthetic lethal therapies in cancer at @VIBE_ICBG2024. Huge thanks my supervisor @colmr and @AlCRIproject for their invaluable support. #AICRIproject

[The Johnston Cancer Research Centre @QubCancer]

Join us on Thu 12 Dec at 1pm for a PGJCCR Seminar with @colmr from @ucddublin on “Paralog buffering as a means by which tumours tolerate mutations”.
Hosted by @IOvertonScience, all are welcome and free to attend.

Day 2 of @UCD_Innovators. Today is all about turning ideas into actionable solutions. 👏

Prototyping is well on the way! #AICRIstart PhD’s and Postdocs exploring hands-on creativity and innovative problem-solving techniques.

Day 1 of the #AICRIstart Innovation Workshop with our brilliant PhD students and postdoctoral fellows with @UCD_Innovators is complete! 💡

It was fantastic to meet in person, share ideas, and kick-start discussions and have some fun along the way!

Using design thinking, the teams are diving deep into creative solutions—watch this space for what’s next!

Onward to Day 2! @hea_irl

we are looking to recruit a PhD student to use systems / integrative approaches to understand the role of paralogs in disease. full details here: https://t.co/yJscYQkmwL

[Colm Ryan @colmr]

now that the Nobel prize has lent it some legitimacy, we finally decided to give AlphaFold a go

RT @AlCRIproject: This morning, #AICRIstart PhDs and Postdocs, took part in the second episode of Story Studio with @jonathan_mccrea from @…

[Colm Ryan @colmr]

if you're interested in this work, or more generally in systematic approaches to understand how paralogs contribute to cancer / other diseases, we will have a PhD position shortly. mail me for more details

[Metin Yazar @metinyazar]

@AlCRIproject @whipsmartie @jonathan_mccrea @WaterfordMafia @KalsiShannon @sophie_carlin4 @ChabriaYashna @hea_irl @Education_Ire @abhi_NUIG21 Thank you @jonathan_mccrea for an amazing first episode of communication training. Visual and emotional communication are what scientists are lacking. To build a better scientific language we need to focus on those. Can't wait the second episode.
#AICRIstart #CancerResearch

[All-Island Cancer Research Institute (AICRI) @AlCRIproject]

Just kicked off our @whipsmartie communications training focusing on visual, emotional, and logical communication!

We had a lot of laughs with @jonathan_mccrea , insightful questions, and plenty to think about. 🧠 Communicating complex science, like cancer research, is tough but crucial.

What did the #AICRIstart PhDs and postdocs think of today's session? Share your takeaways..
@hea_irl @Education_Ire

Excited for the next sessions!

Paralog protein compensation preserves protein-protein interaction networks following gene loss in cancer https://t.co/SLxEJDJwOH #biorxiv_sysbio

[Colm Ryan @colmr]

We are happy to support applications to these schemes, in particular postgraduate (PhD) fellowships. We are interested in genetic interactions in cancer / tumour evolution / paralogs in disease (among other things). Details on our research here: https://t.co/w1DJhFYqCp

Meet our wonderful AICRIstart Post-doctoral fellows. Coming from different backgrounds and cultures, the post-doctoral fellows represent a unique blend of talent and experience.
Find out more about their research projects, what they like to do outside of work and what the AICRIstart project means to them.

Very productive meeting with the AICRIstart Postdoctoral researchers today online. A diverse and international group of researchers representing Ireland, Portugal, Turkey, India and Brazil. Great to hear about their research projects and progress to date @hea_irl #NSRPproject
