Our latest paper in which we show how targeting RNA splicing can impact tumour metabolism and could be a new way to treat an aggressive childhood cancer. Great collaboration with @ICR_London @MRC_LMS Congrats to @Artiska2 Anke Nijhuis and Orli Yogev nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Reliable measurement of diet from self-report is notoriously difficult. Evidence from @BiBresearch & sister cohorts shows potential for urinary markers Urinary metabolic biomarkers of diet quality in European children are associated with metabolic health doi.org/10.7554/eLife.71332
An international research team, including @hectorkeun and @AlexandrosSISK1 from S&C, has identified metabolic ‘signatures’ in urine that can determine the quality of diets in children across Europe and predict their metabolic health. imperial.ac.uk/news/233335/u…

Another PhD that'll be formally advertised soon - this time through @STRATiGRAD Proj w/ Prof Iain McNeish @ImperialSandC & @AstraZeneca > biomarker discovery & instrument development for ovarian cancer. Interested or know anyone that might? Get in touch. RTs appreciated!

A big moment for me - 20 years ago today I started at @imperialcollege ! It has been a lot of fun, so lucky to have worked with so many brilliant and supportive colleagues. Thank you to all @keun_lab past and present👏you are amazing (And of course the best is yet to come... !)

Recently published in @BrJCancer: Pre-clinical research demonstrates lactic acidosis in cancer induces Akt inhibitor resistance. Interfering with lactic acid uptake reversed resistance to the Akt inhibitor, uprosertib. @keun_lab @imperialcollege go.nature.com/2IGGbud

Our latest paper in which we show that lactic acidosis protects cancer cells from cell death induced by the pan-Akt inhibitor uprosertib, and how the effect can be reversed by metabolic inhibitors #cancermetabolism #tumormicroenvironment #drugresistance rdcu.be/b2J1G
