For those of you interested in cancer synthetic lethality, this should be a v interesting Gordon Conference organised by @mgarnett.bsky.social @vazquezf.bsky.social & Benjamin Schwartz- highly recommended ! www.grc.org/synthetic-le...

New Gordon Research Conference Alert: Synthetic Lethality Approaches in Oncology. www.grc.org/synthetic-le.... Join us 20-25th July 2025 for an intimate meeting with thought leaders in the field. Great for networking and opportunities for early career scientists to present their research.

UCD @ucddublin.bsky.social are recruiting fifty early-career faculty through the Ad Astra Fellowship programme. In the School of Medicine there are two positions related to AI in Medicine that might be of particular interest. Deadline 21st February. Full details here: www.ucd.ie/adastrafello...

Exciting new synthetic lethal target emerging from #depmap data 🧪🧬 Frequent passenger mutations in genes involved in mRNA quality control lead to a dependency on PELO-HBS1L Congratulations to the DepMap team! @vazquezf.bsky.social #depmap #cancertarget #syntheticlethal

SKI complex loss renders 9p21.3-deleted or MSI-H cancers dependent on PELO - Nature

Analysis of large-scale CRISPR screening data, combined with experiments in patient-derived tumour organoid models, identifies PELO as a potential therapeutic target in chromosomal 9p21.3-deleted canc...

It's time to tackle rare cancers together - both a scientific opportunity and a moral imperative! I've shared a few brief thoughts in the Trends in Cancer opinions perspective on this topic - out now online www.cell.com/trends/cance...

Think zebras: challenges and opportunities for treating rare cancers

The adage goes, ‘When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras’. However, placing less emphasis on ‘zebras’ – both in the clinical and research space – can prevent many rare cancers from being ...
