The true highlight of an academic career is seeing trainees find their own path. My former postdoc @shruthysa.bsky.social is such a passionate scientist, and her institute made a profile about her and the work she is doing on metastasis. She is so inspiring - check it out: x.com/IGIBSocial/s...

Pleased that I have been awarded a Professorship grant from the UK Academy of Medical Sciences - to support new directions for the lab using #zebrafish models of #melanoma. And congrats to the other awardees Philip Shaw from King's College London and Mark Dewey from Oxford.

A really nice Research Briefing on Miranda's @mrndhntr.bsky.social paper. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1038/d415...

Compression causes cancer cells to start spreading
The switch between proliferation and invasion is triggered by mechanical force.

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com)‬ paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social‬) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

Synthetic biology meets Darwinian evolution. This new paper shows how you can do directed "evolution campaigns" using mutation of RNA rather than DNA: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Could we do this in vivo in #zebrafish ?

For my first ever post on @bsky.app, check out this piece about starting a new lab (one of the most bewildering experiences). See how my former postdoc @shruthy_suresh describes her first year: nature.com/articles/s43.... Honest but optimistic, exactly how I have always known her to be!
