First in-person ICR conference in three years!
The ICR conference was back in its in-person format this June, with great talks, the opportunity to network, food and of course the iconic ceilidh dancing.

Congratulations to our team member Yexin Xie for successfully defending her PhD thesis! Well done!
We have a PhD studentship available to study the functions of ADP-ribosylation in telomere maintenance. For further information and to apply, visit the ICR PhD Studentships website. Applications close on the 27th of March 2022.
Our reconstitution of the beta-catenin destruction complex made it to ICR’s ten featured scientific achievements of 2021. What a nice way to end the lab year and a real testament to the team’s work! You can find all research highlights on the ICR website.
A fully funded PhD studentship on the mechanisms of telomere protection and length homeostasis is available in our team. For details and to apply, check out the ICR website. Application deadline is the 14th of November 2021.
For Black in Cancer Week, ICR’s Science Communications Officer Juanita Bawagan spoke to our team member Dr Michael Ranes about the importance of diversity in cancer research for science and society. You can read the article here.
Our Postdoc Michael Ranes will present his work at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Here are the seminar details:
“Molecular mechanisms of Wnt signaling: reducing complexity”.

The ICR has featured our latest paper in its news stream on the ICR website.
We spoke with Molecular Cell about our latest paper, “Reconstitution of the destruction complex defines roles of AXIN polymers and APC in β-catenin capture, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation,” personal experiences in science, our lab’s research and the people behind our science. Read the interview here.
Our latest paper, reporting the biochemical reconstitution of the beta-catenin destruction complex, is now published online. Congratulations to Michael, Mariola, Saira and Ruth! You can find the open access article here.
