Predisposed to lack of progress?
Off on holiday and I’m wondering what new excuse I’ll get when I get back… Additional ideas? I’ll add them to this page.
They grow up fast – Lee at IID2018
This week we are in Orlando at the International Investigative Dermatology meeting. This once every 5 year event brings together the American European and Japanese societies of skin researchers. It’s a big and, quite genuinely, excellent conference. Lee’s work on our squamous cell carcinoma associated splicing switch was selected from the 1000s of abstracts to…
Congratulations Dr Lester!
Ma-hoosive congratulations to the newly minted Dr Karen Lester! (aka Krn, also aka Moe). Karen studied for her PhD into the molecular mechanisms behind glaucoma. She was supervised by Prof Colin Willoughby, Dr Carl Sheridan and Mrs Anshoo Choudray however, she was also an honorary member of the Hamill lab, having worked alongside my team…
Conference Decisions

To be fair to Lee, his poster and talk are both looking good and are…

They worked really hard evaluating data from hundreds of patients with HNSCC, coming up with a scoring system and then using it to…

Troubles with -seq data
Hypothesis independent screens are really powerful but with great power comes great responsibility. While every gene, miRNa, or protein might matter, it can be a bit much for a 9am lab talk to talk to discuss every single one! (yes the last slide has a mistake in it… had to keep it true to form!)
