Our breast cancer proliferation Cas13d knockdown screen for genetically supported lncRNAs is finally published in Molecular Cancer @BioMedCentral rdcu.be/dIpgT. We show that BC GWAS variants act by reducing the half-life of novel DNA replication and repair lncRNA KILR.

Very happy to share our work of love and a brain child, stLearn. We show 1) ability to predict progression trajectories of diseases and development across a tissue, and 2) accurate mapping of spatial interactions, overcoming constraints in scRNAseq data nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

New preprint from our lab! @LuWang51536623 @BitarMaina CRISPR-Cas13d screens identify KILR a breast cancer risk-associated lncRNA that regulates DNA replication and repair. Another great collaboration with @Edwards_Stace ! @lncRNA_papers @GWAS_lit biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have surpassed the number of protein-coding genes, yet the majority have no known function. We previously discovered >800 lncRNAs at regions identified by breast cancer...

Kara's research project will uncover the role of immune cells, especially macrophages, in the earliest stages of breast cancer initiation and determine whether targeting these cells can prevent the onset of breast cancer. Read more: url.nbcf.org.au/immune #research #breastcancer

Its time we got #MedicalResearch on the agenda in Australia. Please RT, please follow. If our leaders won't advocate for the sector, the sector will have to do it ourself. We need everyone: students, techs, RA, PI, postdocs, group leaders, directors #SaveOzScience #auspol

Dear @GregHuntMP, from 2611 medical research applications to #NHMRC, 366 were judged by peers as internationally “outstanding”. Not good, not excellent: OUTSTANDING. Yet, only 248 got funded. 118 Outstanding Ideas missed out. Dear voters, please ask your MP to #doublethebudget
