We do enjoy a “smart virus”…does it get smarter than a virus they reprograms tumour cells to make their own chemotherapy?? New research just published from our group 👏👏👏
Viruses can be smart things, and here we show you can use #viruses to force #tumour cells to make their own #chemotherapy…just out in @BrJCancer Precision VDEPT/“in-tumour” chemotherapy for #pancreatic #cancer Congrats 🥳 first author @LunedBadder

Our “Virus Tinkerers” escape room closes permanently on the 23 October 2024. Maybe one last co-creators hurrah @ExitusRooms @ProtEngineer @bio_tabs @emilyanne611… ?
This video is fab! Remembering our biggest & coolest #PublicEngagement project the @tenovuscancer virus tinkerers escape room @ExitusRooms Cardiff. It remains, we think, the only escape room developed with scientists🧑🔬 to promote understanding of cutting edge science!

After 5 glorious years and many happy memories, our virus tinkerers escape room is finally closing…sad times! But there’s still chance to play the room and raise some funds for @tenovuscancer (sadly, they no longer fund #research) by playing the room before 23 October!
After 5 years our amazing #escaperoom @ExitusRooms is closing to make way for a brand new room 🎃 If you fancy a good day/night out in next few weeks pls book to play. It’s fun, interesting & based on #cancerresearch being conducted by the brilliant @virustinkerer s 🦠 🔬
