Thank you @WalesGenePark for having us! It was an absolute pleasure to share how bowel organoids can be used for bowel cancer research. We had lots of fun making and showing off our jelly organoids! @drlaura_thomas @Becky_Truscott @SwanseaMedicine

Had a fab time in Mallorca for @EHTGtweets, hearing about all the exciting research happening and was great to have the opportunity to present our work on duodenal disease in MAP. The sunshine was an added bonus 😎 Thanks to @GenSocUK for the travel grant to allow me to come!

➡️Delighted to share our latest work (read n’ share, it’s open access!): "Inherited MUTYH mutations cause elevated somatic mutation rates and distinctive mutational signatures in normal human cells" #Cancer #ageing #polyposis @NatureComms

Wonderful to see this out finally. Thanks to @drphilrobinson and the superb team @sangerinstitute for including us on this exciting project plus my @ITSR_Group team @hwest01 @Becky_Truscott. @NatureComms #polyposis #MUTYH @SwanseaUni @SwanseaMedicine
#MUTYH mutations lead to an increased mutation rate in normal intestinal epithelia—a likely cause of higher risk of #polyposis and #ColorectalCancer but not of premature #ageing

Scientists report a multi-organ tumor predisposition syndrome caused by bi-allelic LoF germline variants in MBD4. Their findings advocate for the inclusion of MBD4 in genetic testing for polyposis & multi-tumor phenotypes. Learn more in @AJHGNews: https://t.co/gDRP5Lh4zS

Project with cellesce to develop patient derived organoids for #polyposis. Huge thanks to all of the patients and clinicians involved in this project. @ITSR_Group @Becky_Truscott @AngharadWalters #RareDiseaseDay
Today is #RareDiseaseDay - at Cellesce we have been closely involved in research to develop 3D organoids cell models to represent duodenal malignancy in FAP and MAP patients to facilitate drug discovery -

Today is Rare Disease Day and it’s a day to raise awareness for the 300 million people in the world with over 6000 rare diseases. If you or a loved one have a rare disease write it in the comments and make it seen. #RareDiseaseDay #RareDisease #allontheboard
