Professor @UniofOxford. We use zebrafish to study how cancer starts and spreads.
Oxford, UK
Joined October 2012
In defense of basic science - my new video about how we balance basic vs. translational science: And why we should encourage a culture of wandering to solve problems:. A team effort between @UniofOxford and @OxfordSparks.

Hey everyone - the annual @SocietyMelanoma meeting in beautiful Amsterdam is coming up. Always a fantastic lineup of research spanning basic, translational and clinical. We also have a great trainee "pre-SMR" meeting. Join us!

#zebrafish people - sign up and register for this always great meeting. Back in Boston, where there is a large number of world class scientists using fish for everything from dev to disease.
Reminder - ZDM18 abstract submission is closing TODAY. With more than 50 spots available for selected speakers it is a great opportunity to highlight your work! Hope you will join @ZDMSociety in Boston this fall. 🎣 #zebrafish.

We identify a role for desmosome mutations in the stroma as drivers of #melanoma. We suspect there are many others, yet to be discovered. A very fun and highly collaborative project spanning several years.

Stromal mutations occur, but hard to prove they are functional. In our new paper with @TreyIdeker’s lab and led by @MohitaTagore and @maayan_baron, we show that we can find these by looking for mutations across a “class” of genes rather than single genes:

This is pretty cool. The skin is bombarded by the world, so how does it resist the onslaught? Gets colonized by neutrophils that act as a shield. Makes a lot of sense. .
Thrilled to share that my latest research is now published in @Nature! 🚀🔬A special thanks to @AndrsHidalgo16 for invaluable mentorship during my PhD and to the amazing team (@alazozcan , Jackson, @lai9uan , @red_ven).

There is always a solution. Albeit this is a pretty weird one. .
Balanophora is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll, and steals its nutrients from tree roots. It lives beneath the rainforest floor, where once in a while, it sends up an orb that glows like the moon.

This is a really cool approach to engineering cell therapies based on metabolic programs. Imagine a lot of future ways to go with this. Check it out.
Much of what my lab has thought about over the years is using advanced tools to better understand and visualize metabolic processes in vivo. Many years ago, a fearless postdoc joined the lab, Tanya @SchildTanya, who was willing to ask the question….
