Presenting our latest lab pre-print showcasing the research of Clinical PhD Fellow Dr David Palmer.
We discovered novel dysregulated RNA-binding proteins (RBP) downstream of RUNX1 aberrations in blast phase-CML, including SPATS2L, which promotes growth and survival.

Less than two weeks remain to apply for the new Research Fellow post in our group! 👇👇👇
RUNX1 aberrations in blast-phase CML induce the RBP SPATS2L which promotes growth, survival and stress granule assembly https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.27.709496v1
Presenting the March 2026 WntUK newsletter!
Containing exciting information about our plans for the WntUK annual meeting being held across 16-17th November at the CRUK Scotland Institute.
Please send us your new WntUK papers, vacancies, and funding for inclusion in future editions!
🎉Proud to present our latest paper, out now in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs) are often full of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but what these regions do during RNA recognition is often unclear. 1/10

Abstract submission deadline approaching fast (April 6th)!
Delighted to share our latest work in @narjournal.bsky.social on the importance of (lnc)RNA–protein interactions in cell division, and how we identified RSRC2 as a new RBP involved in splicing and centrosome-associated RNA localisation

LARP6 is an EMT-associated RNA-binding protein with diverse RNA targets. Here, the authors show that the N-terminal disordered region of LARP6 promotes RNA-binding selectivity by modulating the adjace...
