🧬How can #genomics help us uncover cancer's vulnerabilities?
Join us to hear how novel genomic approaches are revealing new insights into #cancer evolution and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
#ConvergingOnCancer International Seminar
📅 2 July, 10-11am BST
Great to see Centre-funded Clinical Research Fellow Nick Waldron as co-first author on a new review in the British Journal of Cancer as part of their Emerging Leaders series 👏
🤔 How can compounds released by immune cells help us better understand #cancer?
Exciting to see Centre-funded Clinical Research Fellow Nader Bedwani as first author on a newly published scoping review on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by immune cells.
@metabolomicsj.bsky.social
New preprint from researchers at @imperialsci.bsky.social and @icr.ac.uk introduces CanonicalTockySeq - exploring how #TCells change over time during #immunotherapy to better understand treatment responses.

Highlights of Centre supported research featured at #AACR26
🔬Includes: safer and more targeted therapies, #ProstateCancer drug development, liquid biopsy approaches to monitoring treatment response, improving #immunotherapies for solid tumours, and early detection.

👏 Great to see our Centre students Aria, Maja and Killian supporting the YEAH! Careers event with an #AI-themed workshop for Year 8 & 9 pupils.
These #WideningParticipation activities help give students early exposure to healthcare and #STEMCareers as they start thinking about GCSE choices.
This review explores the Raf-Mek-Erk-Rsk signalling pathway in #ProstateCancer and treatment resistance, highlighting opportunities for targeted therapies and biomarkers.

Our students took part in a #PatientEngagement Workshop, sharing their research and hearing directly from patients.
The conversations were a valuable reminder that effective #ScienceCommunication is about listening as well as explaining.
Thank you to everyone involved. 🙏
