We're very grateful that the The Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK will be supporting the work of the ICR's Professor Trevor Graham (Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR). His research aims to lay the foundations for new precision treatment that could stop the spread of #BowelCancer. #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth

Join one of the world's leading centres for cancer #DrugDiscovery! We're making a significant investment in our Division of #CancerTherapeutics with the appointment of five new senior Faculty. Find out more about the new roles here ⬇ icr.ac.uk/media/docs/def… #ScienceJob

🚨Bezzi Lab is recruiting a #postdoc to investigate intra-tumour phenotypic diversity and cancer clonal dynamics!🥳 jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/599/… Join us at The ICR in the exciting Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR focusing on #cancerevolution! #postdocjobs

New preprint: Annie Baker & Benny Chain have led the development of "FUME-TCRseq" a new T-cell receptor seq assay sensitive & robust enough to work on microdissected FFPE samples. Enables profiling of TCR clones & their tissue microenvironment together. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here at Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR we're really looking forward to Prof. Andrea Sottoriva's inaugural lecture this afternoon. "Measuring, predicting and controlling cancer evolution and drug resistance" (Congratulations Andrea... the lecture is only 3 years late!!)

Professor Kristian Helin (Kristian Helin), Chief Executive of the ICR, has been elected as a Foreign Member of the The Royal Society in recognition of his outstanding contribution to #CancerResearch! (1/4)🎉🧵

I’m delighted that our paper on the Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) has, at long last, been published. This paper establishes the foundations of what I’d like to work on for the rest of my career. 1/25 Free, full access link: rdcu.be/dbPA9

Amazing Alejandra!!

Congratulations Luis Zapata! We're looking forward to welcoming your computational immunogenomics lab to our Centre Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR

We're looking for a new lab manager Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR to manage the day-to-day running of our Centre (currently 6 labs, growing). Might suit an experienced researcher who is looking to transition to management. Do drop me a line to discuss. The ICR jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/642/…

I was incredibly thrilled to be selected as part of the PhD student talks at this years ICR conference 2023. Thank you to all who listened to my talk and came to given me feedback and advise. Alejandra Bruna Lab The ICR Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR

First up: Trevor Graham. Trevor leads the Centre for Evolution and Cancer Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR at The ICR combining mathematical modelling with molecular biology to measure cancer evolution. Trevor Graham

Today is also #ResearchAppreciationDay We’re sharing Dr Baker’s exciting research project. Her team is looking at ways to improve #BowelCancer surgery options for those with #InflammatoryBowelDisease. Learn more about it below👇

Welcome to our Twitter (X) takeover for #EvolutionDay! I’m Dr Marcela Braga Mansur, #PostDoc in the Biology of #ChildhoodLeukaemia Team, led by Professor Sir Mel Greaves. Join me on a tour of our lab in Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR and learn more about cancer evolution and our drug resistance work.

🔄 Plasticity is a fundamental evolutionary strategy in neuroblastoma. ☯️ Plasticity is redefined as a dynamic system, both a process and a trait, subject to Darwinian selection. 💊 Targeting plasticity systems offers new therapeutic approaches for high-risk neuroblastoma.

Big congratulations to Dr QingliGuo for her successful PhD defence yesterday at University of Helsinki. Wonderful thesis pushing limits of what we can learn with #mutationalsignatures. Thanks to Benjamin Schuster-Böckler (now on 🐘) for examining & Ville Mustonen for supervising. Also check out those white bowties!!

The future is bright! Clinical Fellow Dr Alvaro Garces sucessfuly defended his PhD. Cancer evolution in ovarian cancer can be can be understood and possibly exploited.... The ICR The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust Susana Banerjee Andrea Sottoriva Trevor Graham Cancer Research UK

Here in the Centre for Evolution and Cancer Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR we're looking forward to hearing Prof. Martin Blaser speak this afternoon about the evolving microbiome and its influence on disease.

New preprint with Vinaya Gunasri! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We explored the war between colorectal cancers and the immune system and how CRCs change the epigenome, microenvironment and genetics to win it. The highlights:

Prof. Sir Mel Greaves is a legend indeed... the founding director of our Centre for Evolution and Cancer, ICR
