Congratulations to Senior Group Leader Professor Sir Steve Jackson for receiving the Society of Apothecaries 2026 Galen Medal for Therapeutics. This award comes in recognition of his transformational work on DNA repair and the development of the cancer-targeting drug Olaparib. #GalenAwards2026

Proper organelle regulation during mitosis is a must, but how do membrane-less condensates like PML bodies behave during cell division? In work led by Eric Aird, we found the balance of speckled proteins SP110 & SP100 to be the key. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Thrilled to see this “veritable tour de force” led by John_C_Fielden from Jacob Corn lab out @nature.com, rdcu.be/ehd4E. This @erc.europa.eu funded project uses #CRISPRi to systematically scan 548 DDR genes for synthetic lethal interactions, ~150,000 pairwise combinations!

Comprehensive interrogation of synthetic lethality in the DNA damage response

Nature - Combinatorial CRISPRi screening was used to map genetic interactions in DNA damage response pathways, revealing known and new connections, including the roles of WDR48 and USP1 in...
