ICR Chief Executive Professor Paul Workman talks about the launch of Probe Miner – the new web resource for objective, large-scale analysis of chemical probes.

ICR Chief Executive Paul Workman blogs about a new article we have published in Cancer Cell that seeks to draw to the attention of the bioscience community the serious dangers of using flawed chemical probes – or tool compounds – in mechanistic investigations and target validation for translational research.

Our Chief Executive pays tribute to Professor Patrick Johnston, Vice Chancellor of Queen's University Belfast and formerly Director of the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology, who died this month.
