👏🎉Huge congratulations to Serena Nik-Zainal awarded the 2021 Academy of Medical Sciences Foulkes Foundation Medal for personalising treatments for cancer patients by identifying specific patterns of mutations in tumours Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Cambridge University ➡️ crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/news/foulkes-f…

We're looking for a new Research Nurse to join the UM team. Know a registered nurse with oncology or clinical trials experience, who can work in a self-directed, independent and flexible manner? Send them our way 👉jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/32001/

Cervical cancer rates reduced by 87% HPV vaccination! To celebrate the results of our paper on HPV vaccination we spoke to Emeritus Professor of Epithelial Biology Cambridge University, Margaret Stanley about her lifetime in HPV research. bit.ly/3mCQq7Q

We know there's positive selection for mutations in cancer-associated genes in healthy tissues. But how much positive selection is there elsewhere in the genome? @gladyspoon investigated in our paper just out in Nature Genetics nature.com/articles/s4158…

📢Open to all: ACED Prostate Cancer virtual symposium 25th May 17:00 BST/09:00 PDT - 19:30 BST/11:30 PDT.

We are looking for highly motivated Research Associates to join an exciting collaborative project (UCL, Stanford, Cambridge) exploring the use of novel epigenomic methods for cancer early detection: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/34881/ Andy Feber and Richard Mair mair-lab.com

An exciting opportunity to join our dynamic teams as part of an international collaboration on leading-edge methods for cell-free DNA methylation assays to facilitate effective cancer early detection: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/36196/

"We want to focus on some of the hardest cancers to treat where early detection could really make a difference." Prof Rebecca Fitzgerald on BBC Radio 4 Today about the launch of the UK's first Early Cancer Institute Cambridge University Early Cancer Institute, University of Cambridge Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

On the day of our official launch, Institute Director Rebecca Fitzgerald Rebecca Fitzgerald Lab is interviewed on BBC Radio 4 Today. Listen to the interview at 1:21:48. #EarlyCancerCamLaunch bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

This is another paper from the CRUK-ICGC Prostate group that have been workling together for over 10 years and driven by Claudia Buhigas' PhD work. David Wedge Andy Lynch 🇪🇺 Massie_Lab Rosalind Vincent J Gnanapragasam etc.

✨Congratulations✨ to UM Lead Grant Stewart, who's been awarded a King James IV Professorship by The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

Our latest paper on detecting renal cancer subtypes using AI on DNA methylation changes in cancer: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. spearheaded by two amazing young scientists Sabrina H. Rossi and Izzy Newsham and our fantastic collaborators Massie_Lab and others #ScienceAdvancesResearch #AI

📢Congratulations Sabrina H. Rossi, PhD student in Massie_Lab, whose paper on improving diagnostic accuracy of renal masses using a bespoke machine-learning model was published in Science Magazine yesterday. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I am extremely enthusiastic to share our work published today in Nature Genetics. We establish a targeted Oxford Nanopore sequencing approach for ultralong-read epigenomic profiling and discover a novel, primate-specific enhancer driving bi-allelic IGF2 expression. nature.com/articles/s4158…

🧵 UM researchers have used #AI to distinguish between four #RenalCancer subtypes. This tech has the potential to improve pre-surgical diagnosis and avoid unnecessary surgery. This excellent thread by Izzy Newsham explains all 👇

Still time to register for our in person seminar by Angela Goncalves Angela Goncalves this Thursday

📢 We're recruiting a Medical Imaging AI researcher! Exciting project CRUKCambridgeCentre Brain Cancer Virtual Institute (jointly shared with Mair and Price labs), integrating novel imaging datasets (DMI/MRI/PET) with whole genome & transcriptome data for real time clinical decision making. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38516/

Congratulations Rebecca Fitzgerald Lab Early Cancer Institute, University of Cambridge - a very well deserved Impact Recognition Award🏅👏 !

Congratulations to our Institute Director Rebecca Fitzgerald Lab !
