Serum mesothelin as a response biomarker in pleural mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an incurable cancer of the lung lining, predominantly caused by asbestos exposure. Median survival is 9–14 months, with marginal improvements in survival over recent years...

New year reflections... A look back to our #PREDICT-Meso Young Investigators Day. It was a huge success and we hope to make it an annual thing. If the Network keeps growing as it has, we may need 2 days in 2025 to cover all the exciting #mesothelioma science the Young Investigators are researching

On Wednesday this week we hosted our first PREDICT-Meso Young Investigators’ Day in Glasgow. Blown away by the progress and quality of our PhD students & postdocs. The future of #mesothelioma research looks bright! @cruk-si.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social @djmurphylab2.bsky.social

Many congrats to @nadia-i.bsky.social on her PhD graduation🎉 We are delighted to have Dr Iqbal as part of PREDICT-Meso. Looking forward to reading these publications #mesothelioma #pleural And Congrats to @lucyhjackson-j.bsky.social on her 1st graduating PhD student- may it be the first of many!👏

Super proud of @nadia-i.bsky.social, the first PhD student to graduate from my group at Lancaster University. Keep your eyes peeled in 2025 for exciting publications on fibres and FALCs by Iqbal et al. #Immunosky #mesothelioma #pleural

Check out this #mesothelioma comic developed by our partners at University of Cambridge. It's a great visual representation of our immune response to #asbestos fibres. Well worth a read! Very well done to all involved @emilyself.bsky.social @davidoloughlin.bsky.social @claudiaflandoli.bsky.social

Mac is on a mission! 🔍 This year @davidoloughlin.bsky.social and I worked with the brilliant @claudiaflandoli.bsky.social to create a comic based on our work on #Mesothelioma 🫁 🧬 ! You can read "Mac and Mission Fibre" and two other comics from our labs at shorturl.at/OkLJq

Check out this interview with our #PREDICTMeso PI @kevingblyth.bsky.social discussing #mesothelioma; why it takes so long to develop, and what we at @predict-meso.bsky.social are doing to research and develop new treatments #MesotheliomaResearch #MesoORIGINS #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection

A few mins of #Mesothelioma chat starts @1251 on BBC Scotland Lunchtime Live👇 Why does meso develop decades after exposure? What are we doing in @predict-meso.bsky.social to develop new treatments? @uofglasgow.bsky.social @cruk-si.bsky.social @cancerresearchuk.org www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
