Cancer Neuroscience Laboratory @TheCrick investigating how tumours communicate with the rest of our body.
Francis Crick Institute
Joined January 2020
Huge shoutout to our most amazing communication team ! Thank you for creating this!
Crick researchers have found that certain aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, similar to the body’s nervous system. This can allow tumour cells to go ‘off grid,’ making them harder to treat. https://t.co/Ydj52B2KlT

The first paper from the #Cancer_Neuroscience Lab @TheCrick just got published in @Nature ! Checkout how lung cancer cells form their own electrical network and use that to promote malignancy, and how #intratumoural_heterogeneity and #lactate_shuttle play a role in that👉

@LiGroup_Crick is very happy to announce that our own @claballabio has been awarded a prestigious 2-year @EMBO Fellowship to study the role of innervation in cancer @TheCrick. Well done and huge congratulations, Claudio!
It’s official! I am thrilled and honoured that I’ve been awarded an @EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship to investigate how cancer cells and neurons interact in @LiGroup_Crick at @TheCrick!

As our LRS (Laboratory Research Scientist), Charlotte was responsible for cataloguing and maintaining our cell line collection, and she has created many exciting new lines with various actuators and activity reporters herself! Here is Charlotte on her last day @TheCrick 👇
