It's that time of the year when students apply to Professors for MSc, PhD or PDF mentorship. Great!
Tip: Please remember to state in your email, where you received your undergraduate or graduate degrees, country & year. Be unique. Stand out.

Preprint from marignanilab.com. LKB1 isn't just a tumour suppressor kinase with metabolic function; there's more😁.
We used scRNAseq, CRISPR, patient tumours, METABRIC genomics & new mouse model to ask:what is the impact of losing LKB1 expression on breast cancer?
