In our latest Research Careers column, Alison Walters calls on the research community to broaden their idea of how postdocs can contribute to cancer research beyond a role as a group leader. The skills and personal qualities possessed by a postdoc are highly desirable within many sectors. Ally wants to see a cultural shift that encourages postdocs to continue to contribute to cancer research beyond academia and encourages cross-sector mobility. Early and open conversations between postdocs and their supervisors are key to career progression. There is a breadth of options open to those with a strong research background, but we need to empower postdocs to take that next step. Read the column 👇 https://bit.ly/3SWRROm

Check out the amazing 3rd prize winner of our Cancer Research UK City of London Centre's image competition⬇️ Stay tuned to their page for more!
📸 Our image competition celebrates the work of our researchers and staff and invites the viewer into the world of cancer research. Congratulations to Dr Sarah Duncan (not on LinkedIn), whose image won joint 3rd prize! 🌟 Dr Duncan is using a 3D spheroid model to explore how the activation of pancreatic stellate cells (star shaped fibroblasts in the pancreas) can affect the deposition of the extracellular matrix (the network of proteins and other molecules surrounding cells) in pancreatic cancer. 🌈 Dr Duncan’s spectacular image shows pancreatic cancer cells and pancreatic stellate cells in blue and the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin in yellow. 🏥 It’s thought that up to 90% of a pancreatic tumour’s volume can be made of non-cancerous connective tissue. Understanding why and how these proteins are deposited by pancreatic stellate cells may open up new ways to make pancreatic cancer more treatable. 💰 The Centre funds advanced technologies for use by our researchers at Barts Cancer Institute (Queen Mary University of London) (where Dr Duncan is based), UCL, King's College London and The Francis Crick Institute. 🔬 Our Zeiss LSM 880 Confocal Microscope with Airyscan Fast is located in the Light Microscopy Core Facility at the Barts Cancer Institute (Queen Mary University of London).
