Honoured to have been able to attend last week the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Meeting in Ōtautahi Christchurch and receive the 2024 John Mitchell Crouch Fellowship which supports my teams research into thyroid cancer.

Nice summary on the importance of understanding which calcitonin assay was used in historical studies of medullary thyroid cancer and on understanding which assay your lab uses!

Out now! Our study reveals the role of RBM10 mutations in driving thyroid cancer metastasis. Thanks to @MSKCancerCenter, Fagin Lab, @AbdelWahablab @bradleybio @DrAntG @VeraTiedje @AdrianAcunaRuiz @MSaqcena Brian Untch, Jeff Knauf.

.@Gnana_Krish, Fagin et al. @MSKCancerCenter show that RBM10 loss leads to exon inclusion of transcripts regulating ECM–cytoskeletal interactions and RAC1-GTP activation, sufficient to promote metastatic fitness. https://t.co/xT7CTd3EaQ @VeraTiedje #ThyroidCancer #Metastasis
