Haematologist & Scientist @petermaccc.bsky.social and University of Melbourne - Group Leader @thedawsonlab.bsky.social - views expressed are my own
- Science has lost a GIANT and the world has lost one of the kindest most inspiring people I had the pleasure of knowing. Just an extraordinary man whose curiosity was infectious and whose dry wit will always be memorable- RIP John www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...
- This is such a wonderful perspective from the amazing @fendtlab.bsky.social - in so many ways it was an incredible experience for both myself and @thedawsonlab.bsky.social to have Sarah share her time & brilliant intellect with us - I will always be grateful for the opportunity to host her 🙏🏿
- Will it be a turning point? I recently came back from a research sabbatical funded by @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social & #KULeuven in the lab of @mafdawson.bsky.social @petermaccc.bsky.social and I am happy to share my experience @natcancer.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s43... @vib-ccb.bsky.social
- Australia completely lacks a dedicated training program for clinician scientists. With the vision and support of VMIAL @petermaccc.bsky.social is extremely proud to announce the first clinician-scientist fellowship. If you meet the eligibility criteria PLEASE APPLY! www.nature.com/naturecareer...
- We are looking for a talented postdoctoral bioinformatician @thedawsonlab.bsky.social to work with us on single cell multiomics incorporating lineage tracing and spatial technologies- we specifically want someone curious, fearless with a licence to innovate!! Come join us!!
- A huge pleasure to host Safia Danovi from @naturegenet.bsky.social @petermaccc.bsky.social - great advice for the students, postdocs & faculty
- Where have I heard this before? 🤔 “Let’s cancel grant review panels as they don’t facilitate accountable peer review or education of the next generation” - Ah Yes! that’s the SHAMBOLIC MESS we have where submitting a grant is like buying a lottery ticket! If Trump says it’s a good idea it must be 🤦🏽
- Awesome day at the tennis with @sj-dawson.bsky.social - Melbourne at its summer best!
- A huge congratulations to @fendtlab.bsky.social on this amazing body of work!
- Did you ever wonder why metastatic cancers often spread to the lungs? Amazing research from @ginevradoglioni.bsky.social! Many thanks to all collaborators, funders and patients. Wishing you all an enjoyable read and a happy new year and Ginevra a great next endeavor @salkinstitute.bsky.social
- Why can a human tolerate a drug that globally inhibits transcription? Why do transcription inhibitors not cure cancer? Our first paper of 2025 may help explain (some) of this! So incredibly proud of @tobiaswilliams.bsky.social & Ewa Michalak who led the work! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
- Thanks to all our collaborators especially the labs of Vi Wickramasinghe & Jeff Chao who co-led the work - very grateful to everyone in @thedawsonlab.bsky.social & @petermaccc.bsky.social for supporting the team
- Happy holidays from everyone @thedawsonlab.bsky.social

- Thrilled to share a wonderful collaboration with Scott Armstrong, Florian Perner & Shellaina Gordon - exciting times ahead! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Mark DawsonHello to my small Bsky community. We have postdoc positions open to study epigenetic mechanisms contributing to resistance to chemo+immuno in TNBC, and projects related to epigenetic determinants of neurodevelopmental disorders. Feel free to reach out to me here/via email. Please like and repost!
- Great to see the ARCHIVE Study continuing to deliver great insights into Clonal Haematopoeis and HIV outcomes - congratulations to all !! www.cell.com/cell-reports...
- The entrance door at work - 🤔 the lab has taken Christmas Spirit to a new level!
- My favourite time of year has just begun!! It always brings back wonderful memories of years past & excitement for family time ahead and new memories to be created. Wherever you are and whatever you celebrate- I hope you have sometime over the next month filled with love & laughter!
- Reposted by Mark DawsonWe are seeking a motivated postdoc to join our lab! Our research focuses on live-cell imaging/analysis to reveal how chromatin behaves in living cells and how its behavior contributes to cellular functions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Interested? Please DM me!
- Congratulations Anna and team!
- 1/23 Big news for the #ObenaufLab! So excited to finally share our new study providing another puzzle piece, why immunotherapy fails in many tumors, now out in @Nature 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
