🎉 Great to get this out. Fantastic effort from all our co-authors. Our latest research developing the sodium iodide symporter as an in vivo metabolic sensor for PET imaging. Check it out 👇
🆕Paper by Piotr Dzien, @kblyth1, @DavidYLewis and colleagues proposes PET imaging of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) as an in vivo testing method for metabolic treatments targeting energetic pathways to rapidly determine metabolic drug potency

Great to see this highlighted by @NatureBiotech.
The key point for me is the ability to image both the forest and the trees, so tracking cancer across the body, then zooming in to study tumour cells, their microenvironment and how disease evolves in context.

🧡💙 It’s #CancerCachexia Awareness Day 💙🧡
Yesterday at @CRUK_SI, the CANCAN team—led by Emma Brown & Lisa Duff—hosted an inspiring event to spotlight this devastating syndrome.
Thanks to Dr. Tobias Janowitz for his powerful talk.

Strong #CANCAN representation in the basic science summary #SCWD2024 #SCWDconference2024 thank you for the support @SCWDnews and @ErinETalbert @DavidYLewis @HenningLanger
It was a fantastic meeting with thanks for the invitation.
Our session E at the 17th SCWD conference delved in to understanding dysregulated metabolic homeostasis in Cancer Cachexia. Important insights were shared by international experts with a full room of attendees.
