"We now know that cancer does not come from nowhere." Prof Sarah Blagden, director of a new research collaboration between pharma giant GSK and the University of Oxford, tells #R4Today about the development of a new 'pre-cancer' vaccine that could target the disease earlier.
How to get your research funded? We heard insights from our panel: Talisia Quallo @CRUKresearch Florence Theberge @The_MRC Janette Rawlinson @OxfordCancer PPI @FrancoiseSHowe #oxcode Chaired by @sarah_blagden #oxcode24
It’s hard to believe that OxCODE has been going for 5 years already! We’re celebrating with a 2-day symposium of talks, panel discussions, posters and networking. Looking forward to some excellent science! #oxcode24 @OxfordCancer
🚀The wait is over: registration is open for our second annual Cancer Prevention Research Conference! Get your ticket & join us in London to discuss the latest concepts in cancer prevention research. Register today: bit.ly/3OAqjLS #PrevConf25 | @AmericanCancer
Our latest episode explores research that identified 250+ genes that play a crucial role in bowel cancer, offering hope for prevention, screening and targeted treatments. Tune in as our guests discuss the findings and their impact 🎙️ Listen here: ow.ly/qpMu50Ua4hY
💡 Jens Rittscher (@JensRittscher) is leveraging AI to analyze endoscopy images for Barrett’s esophagus. 🤖🔬 His lab focuses on automated quantification for data-driven phenotyping, with exciting potential to extend into spatial transcriptomics and thicker tissue…
Oxford Centre for Cancer Early Detection and Prevention Symposium 10-11th December, Oxford Keynote speakers: Victor Velculescu @JohnsHopkins, Sam Janes @uclmedsci, Molly Stevens @KavliOxford and @GeorgiaBBlack @QMUL_WIPH Abstracts due: 8th Nov Register ⬇️ eventbrite.co.uk/e/oxford-centr…
'Thanks to this funding, our research can take a big step forward towards a viable vaccine for ovarian cancer.' Professor Ahmed Ahmed @MRC_WIMM comments on new funding from @CRUKresearch to create the world’s first vaccine to prevent #OvarianCancer. 👇 cancer.ox.ac.uk/news/funding-t…
#InTheNews We’ve awarded researchers at the @UniofOxford up to £600,000 to create the world’s first vaccine to prevent ovarian cancer. OvarianVax is a vaccine that will teach the immune system to recognise and attack the earliest stages of ovarian cancer.
After winning #PrevConf24 poster prize, Zhe Huang (@UniofOxford) talked to us about his work on investigating the proteomic profiles of #ProstateCancer, his trip to Boston and the story behind his early career. Read more👇
David Church & Simon Leedham will use a Biology to Prevention Award to work on a precision prevention vaccination strategy for Lynch syndrome. They will define candidate frameshift peptides and determine mechanisms of immune escape. @leedham_simon | @UniofOxford | #CRUKFunded
Exciting progress for those of us with Lynch syndrome! As 1 of 4 in the PPI group contributing to this research, it’s brilliant that the researchers have listened to us. A potential vaccine that could prevent not just bowel cancer, but also womb cancer! 🙌#LynchSyndrome #PPI
