Super excited to announce that we've submitted our paper on the selection of lung mutational landscapes and how its influenced by exposures using deep sequencing. Preprint is below. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1...

Context-dependent selection sculpts mutational landscapes in the normal lung
Just as organismal evolution is driven by environmental changes, somatic evolution is similarly driven by changes in tissue environments, whether caused by the normal process of aging, by lifestyle ch...

The insights into how lung cancer spread in our recent manuscript in @nature.com would not be possible without the courageous & altruistic individuals who participate the #PEACE study, like Lydia: www.express.co.uk/life-style/h...

Scientists make lung cancer breakthrough thanks to ‘brave’ patients like Lydia
EXCLUSIVE: Samples donated by patients have helped researchers better understand how the disease spreads around the body.

Urinary levels of plastics-associated phthalates and bisphenols chemicals were associated with cardiometabolic risk biomarkers and can be lowered by reducing plastic use in food and personal-care products, according to a paper in Nature Medicine. go.nature.com/3OztjvP #medsky 🧪
This is figure 3, which shows the modeling of urinary PAC levels in the PERTH cohort study.
