How many pairs of jeans do you have in your wardrobe? How many genes are in your body? What are genes anyway and do you know how they can help to treat an illness?!

All is explained in this brand-new animation from us at the NIHR Blood and Transplant Research Unit in Stem Cells and Immunotherapies at University College London ( BTRU). Well, except how many jeans you own, that stays your secret.

In the next Small Molecules TIN interview as part of the Early Career Innovators series, acknowledging the amazing translational work being done by early career researchers within the Therapeutic Innovation Networks (TINs), Benedikt Hölbling highlights his Small Molecules TIN Pilot Data Fund awarded project, “Enhancing Stathmin-2 protein levels in familial and sporadic ALS/FTD”.

In the next Small Molecules TIN interview as part of the Early Career Innovators series, acknowledging the amazing translational work being done by early career researchers within the Therapeutic Innovation Networks (TINs), Dr Victor Llombart highlights his Small Molecules TIN Pilot Data Fund awarded project, “Identifying therapeutic vulnerabilities of MYC through next generation structure-function”.

In the first Small Molecules TIN interview as part of the Early Career Innovators series, acknowledging the amazing translational work being done by early career researchers within the Therapeutic Innovation Networks (TINs), Clara Gathmann highlights her Small Molecules TIN Pilot Data Fund awarded project, “Screening a DNA encoded library on GEF-H1 for drugs targeting ocular diseases”.

Professor Marie Scully is a professor of haemostasis and thrombosis at and a Consultant Haematologist working in non-malignant haematology at H. Professor Scully has recently received a grant of around £360,000 grant from for a phase 2 study to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on thrombosis and a potential mitigation therapy through plasma exchange.

What changes does COVID-19 cause in the blood and what does this mean for patients?

In the next interview as part of the Early Career Innovators series, acknowledging the amazing translational work being done by early career researchers within the Therapeutic Innovation Networks, Dr Athina Dritsoula and Dr Carlotta Camilli highlight their joint Biologics TIN Pilot Data Fund awarded project focusing on the effect of LRG1 blockade in pancreatic cancer.

How did this joint project come about?

In the third interview as part of the Early Career Innovators series, acknowledging the amazing translational work being done by early career researchers within the Therapeutic Innovation Networks, Dr Gathoni Kamuyu highlights her Biologics TIN Pilot Data Fund awarded project “Identifying monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii infections” and presents some advice for future applicants.
