Summary of some our activities by our very own @roscobacterium.bsky.social for world cancer day.

Dr Ross McInnes@roscobacterium.bsky.social · 2y ago

To celebrate world cancer day, I want to outline some of the work we are doing in @mmimic.bsky.social lab. We are interested in how Salmonella Typhimurium adapts to the tumour microenvironment during bacterial cancer therapy and how it interacts with cancer and immune cells.

Nice write up by CRUK (yet to join Bluesky!) on our recent work! @cruk-si.bsky.social news.cancerresearchuk.org/2025/01/23/f...

Our researchers are modifying Salmonella into a treatment that works with the immune system to attack bowel cancer from two sides at once.

Check it out!!! Our work delineating why T cells aren't needed for Salmonella colorectal cancer therapy, and how to get them on board is out 😅🧪🦠. @cruk-si.bsky.social Collab with @bendinglab.bsky.social @sarahdimeloe.bsky.social #Immunosky #Microsky #metabolism www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Happy to have made the move to where the sky is clear! A bit slow to do so, so very happy to see all the familiar faces as well as new 👋! The lab relocated to the @cruk-si.bsky.social last year, so it’s been busy reforming! 👋
