Outreach

Our FANTOM program is dedicated to spreading the fruits of our research far and wide. Early career researchers will engage in diverse outreach activities, including collaborative efforts with the ‘Naked Scientists’ and ‘Open Science,’ providing them with comprehensive training in communication skills. They’ll participate in science festivals, like the Cambridge University Science Festival, where they’ll lead engaging activities to demystify topics such as immune system cancers. Through social media, particularly Twitter, and interactions with the press, they’ll share their findings with both professional and lay audiences. All dissemination efforts will recognize the support received from the European Union’s Horizon 2021 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Training Networks.

Will Shepheard

During my master’s thesis, I investigated the WIP1/PPM1D phosphatase oncoprotein as a therapeutic target for potentiating p53-dependent therapies.

Stefania Massari

I’m particularly fascinated by how metabolic changes contribute to the transformation of normal T cells into malignant ones in ALCL. My current project dives into the role of STAT proteins

Nicola Mora

I started my science journey a few years ago with a Bachelor Degree in Biological Sciences at Eastern Piedmont University

Gerardo Enrique Abarca Ríos

My project focuses on uncovering and validating non-mutational mechanisms of resistance to ALK inhibitors in ALK-positive ALCL. While targeted therapies like ALK inhibitors have significantly improved patient outcomes, treatment resistance remains a major obstacle to long-term success.

Katarina Misura

Turner lab has established a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which gave me access to fresh tumor samples.

Today, I’m a proud Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow under the EU Horizon Europe program—a fellowship that supports my work and enables international collaboration.
