Spending on benefits Surprisingly the UK spends less on pensions, incapacity, unemployment and social care than peers nations

Our first ever giving day is fast approaching on 19 and 20 June! Your support could enable researchers like Andrew Beggs, Professor of Cancer Genetics and Surgery at Uni of Birmingham to make the next big breakthrough. #BirminghamGives #UoB125 birminghamgives.givingday.co.uk/projects/globa…

This is a really important paper - immunogenic tumour associated antigens seem to be more associated with aberrantly expressed extragenic RNA than the classical mutations nature.com/articles/s4301…

Interesting article from Ian Cowie about Intuitive I know that they and others are collecting loads of surgical videos. My prediction with the rise of AI, we’ll be seeing autonomous surgical robots within the next decade thetimes.com/business-money…

Kicking off #acpgbi2025 with colorectal focus

Team Beggs Lab today at #acpgbi2025 presenting on PI3K/AKT inhibition and non-canonical PARPi in rectal cancer and radiosensitivity (plus a bit of class II MHC work). Well done Becca and Kamila! Great talks!

Hopeful that because the front cover has a DNA strand we’ll see more on genomic medicine As someone who is involved in sorting this out in our region, I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to deliver tangible benefits for patients (with the right funding!! 😂)

109 mentions of “genomics” in the 10 Year plan…. Sounds like I picked the right research area Like the sound of these Department of Health and Social Care Global Institutes as well… meant to bring together innovation in areas that need employment rather than just investing in the golden triangle…

Thanks to Uni of Birmingham for nominating me for, and being fortunate to win on behalf of Beggs Lab the Josiah Mason Founders Award for Academic Advancement Video of our work: m.youtube.com/watch?v=cbySWF…

Quite the view in Loch Lomond today..

Let’s just remember he had an FRCS! Surgeon scientists leading the way again….

Yup

Gonna give up my day job and pivot to Pizza chef Crust needs some work though

Absolutely packed house for the official opening of No.1 Birmingham Health Innovation Campus with Bruntwood SciTech and Uni of Birmingham - celebrating Life Sciences Week with industry, academia and clinicians from across Birmingham’s health and life sciences district (and far beyond) #LSW25
