Authorship on new publication in Cancer Cell

Delighted to see this piece of work finally come out. Done with colleagues at the Northern Institute for Cancer Research over several years, my role was to do initial identification of possible therapeutic agents on AML cell lines. Still remember when I showed my PI the promising results with palbociclib for the first time! Many congratulations to my colleagues who took that initial piece of information and built this incredible, comprehensive piece of research that will hopefully lead to new and less toxic treatment approaches for hard-to-treat AML.

The paper is open-access here:

TEDWomen 2018, Palm Springs, California.

Amazing to attend TEDWomen in Palm Springs and meet new and old friends, especially those in the TED Fellow community. Inspiring talks, great chats with fellow attendees and a little bit of winter sunshine.

I chaired a meeting of the international Replication Repair Deficiency workshop as well as presenting my research at the meeting from her work in Professor Uri Tabori’s lab at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).


In addition, I presented a poster of my research into the neurotoxic side effects of childhood leukemia chemotherapy agent, methotrexate.
