Kasper was featured as a researcher at World Cancer Day 2020 on the CRUK website

 

It is a pleasure to welcome Jess Newport as student in the lab. Jess is currently enrolled in the Integrated Masters (Msci) in Biological and Biomedical Sciences at University of Dundee and will be spending 5 months in the lab to study the role of TET2 in the hematological malignancy Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm.

Thanks to the organizers for making us part of the Street Food public outreach event at Dundee Science Festival 2019 . 

This event combines food and drink makers, from Dundee, Angus, Fife and beyond, with University of Dundee researchers to explore the surprising, inspiring ways that research meets food.

We were involved in a stand where DNA extraction from strawberries (with gin!!!) provided an opportunity to discuss our research with the general public. Great fun!!!

Anna has joined us for her PhD studies. She has a BSc in biochemistry and did her masters at University of Bristol studying the role of cholesterol as a cofactor for the BASP1 transcriptional corepressor.

I am very happy to announce that Cancer Research UK has awarded a Career Development Fellowship to support our research. Thank you so much!!! Also see the article in the local newspaper.

It is a pleasure to welcome Amanda Baizan Edge as a postdoctoral fellow in the group. Amanda has a background in both wet lab research as well as computational biology to study of B-cell development and immunoglobulin class switching.

Welcome Amanda!

Happy to see the paper is out!!! See press release for the publication here.
