Had a great time at BACR 65th Anniversary meeting
Very excited to be just a weekend away from this UK conference on neutrophil biology that we are hosting at Newcastle. It includes international keynotes but most important the majority of speakers are early career researchers. #immunology #inflammation #neutrophils #humandisease
Last week, the 1st Annual IMPACT conference took place on the shores of Loch Lomond 📍🤩
Members of IMPACT span wet-lab scientists, pathologists, bioinformaticians, patient involvement managers, image analysts, technicians, clinicians, students, project managers, and lecturers among others, to ensure a wide range of expertise and optimum resource management!
We had flash presentations from the attendees and discussions of common themes! Check out a few of our 25+ presenters!
With over 40 people in attendance, this 3-day event brought together members of the different groups to identify and overcome barriers to collaboration 🤔
The IMPACT Collaborative is the Immune Microenvironment and Pathology Atlasing for Clinical Translation group based at the Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Center @uofglasgow.bsky.social @uofgcancersciences.bsky.social 🧑🏻🔬👩🔬👨🔬
Had a great time at the 1st IMPACT conference- really interesting hearing how different research can fit together! Thank you @emmacparsons.bsky.social for being the best co-organiser ✨
Quick Bluesky introduction- I’m Molly a 3rd year CRUK PhD student in @labedwards.bsky.social working on inflammation in colorectal cancer! 👩🔬 Interested in 3D tissue models, biomarker discovery & public engagement ✨

Wait, it's an ecosystem⁉️🧐 🌍 @leedham-simon.bsky.social of @ox.ac.uk delivered his keynote speech on the manipulation of the neoplastic stem cell niche. He proposes a holistic approach to ectopic stem cells behaviour! #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025 @cruk-si.bsky.social
1️⃣Let's kick off the first theme of the day: Improving CRC Prevention and Early Detection, chaired by @drpipdunne.bsky.social of @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social and @cruk-si.bsky.social #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025
Solving hypomethylation puzzles 🍭🧬😌 @sproullab.bsky.social of @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social delivered an interesting talk on the role of epigenetic dysfunction in colorectal carcinogenesis. #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025
Inspecting the immune infiltrate 🕵️🔍 @mcsorleystephen.bsky.social from @uofglasgow.bsky.social & NHSGGC spoke about the immune infiltrate in colonic adenomas & their relation to future polyp risk as part of @incise-research.bsky.social #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025
🚨Subgroups left us speechless 🤯 Natalie Fisher of @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social gave a fascinating talk on distinct transcriptional and phenotypic states within colorectal polyps. #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025 @cruk-si.bsky.social
The Problem with Plasticity...💁♂️ Kevin Myant of @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social kicked off the second theme of the day with an excellent talk on colonic lineage fidelity loss and its effects on plasticity & metastasis #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025
Change = only constant. Ask the immune system post-radiotherapy!🦉 Great talk from Lily Hillson from @uofglasgow.bsky.social on dynamic rectal tissue and immune response to radiotherapy. Lily’s PhD Viva is coming up, wish her luck! 🤞 #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025
3...2...1... We have lift off! ⏱️🚀 Alistair McLaren from @uofglasgow.bsky.social just finished his fascinating talk on phenotypic characterization of neutrophils through space and time! #BowelCancer #ColorectalCancer #Research #CRCThemeDay2025
