🎙️"Are population-based prevention studies fast enough?" Sarah Blagden says we need to rethink how we are designing studies and highlights OCTO Oxford - Oxford first UK centre to specialise in precision prevention & early detections trials. University of Oxford | Sharon A. Savage, M.D. |

Great flash talk by Holly Eggington Centre for Human Genetics on the potential of BMP4 activation for colorectal cancer prevention Oxford Cancer #PrevConf24

And huge congratulations to Holly Eggington for being the best early career researcher poster prize winner for the mechanistic theme!   A very worthy recipient of one of this year’s OxCODE travel awards! Oxford Cancer #PrevConf24

That’s 2 out of 2 success for this year’s OxCODE travel award winners in the #PrevConf24 poster prizes (guess we chose our candidates well 😊)! Congratulations to both Zhe Huang Oxford Population Health (OxPop) and Holly Eggington Centre for Human Genetics Oxford Cancer

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

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. Simon Leedham | University of Oxford | #CRUKFunded

After winning #PrevConf24 poster prize, Zhe Huang (University of Oxford) 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👇

'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 Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK to create the world’s first vaccine to prevent #OvarianCancer. 👇 cancer.ox.ac.uk/news/funding-t…

#InTheNews We’ve awarded researchers at the University of Oxford 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.
