Project to develop low-cost genome sequencing for pathogens launched

A low-cost genome sequencing technique that was used by thousands of laboratories globally to spot COVID-19 variants will be extended to cover all pathogens, in an ambitious new Wellcome Trust-funded project launched today. The ARTIC-2 project is led by the University of Birmingham and brings together researchers from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana and Kenya with expertise in responding to numerous viral threats using genomic surveillance, including recent outbreaks of Ebola virus and Mpox in Africa.

Molecule enabling new leukaemia treatments discovered

Researchers at the Shi Lab have discovered a first-in-class LSD1 PROTAC degrader, which opens up new therapeutic paths for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. PROTAC degraders are molecules that degrade proteins by using the cell’s own machinery, binding to both the target protein and an E3 ligase, which marks it for degradation by the proteasome.
