Our network is very sad to be losing Prof Michelle West @west_lab later this year. Michelle has been a brilliant teacher, researcher and mentor in @BiochemBiomedUS @SussexLifeSci and will be sorely missed as she takes up a new Head of School role at @QMUL

📖 New publication! 🗞️ Dr @meganwagstaff from @RhysMorganLab in @SussexLifeSci @BiochemBiomedUS @SussexUni have shown a potentially novel role for the oncoprotein β-catenin in myeloid leuakaemia cells in post-transcriptional processes with RBPs, out in @oncogenejournal today.👇
Presenting our latest work out now in @oncogenejournal driven by @meganwagstaff in @SussexLifeSci @SussexUni @Sussex_Cancer @Sussex_BCR @UK_Wnt. We show the oncogene β-catenin interacts with a Wnt mRNA network in myeloid leukaemia cells Quick tour🧵👇 1/ https://t.co/BCdLB7AduI
