Happy to see our review out now in Nature Reviews Cancer was fun to co-create this piece with Matthias Valentina and Georg. we aimed to be as contemporary in coverage and forward-looking in outlook on protein degraders mechanisms and cancer therapeutics. nature.com/articles/s4156…

It was great to catch up with Karen Vousden (Vousden Lab) from the #CancerGrandChallenges Scientific Committee at our #AACR2025 stand today (2327). Karen was recently awarded the AACR-G.H.A. Clowes Award for Outstanding Basic Cancer Research. Congratulations Karen! 🎉


Today at #AACR2025 Tobias Janowitz (Tobias Janowitz Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) - co-team lead of #CancerGrandChallenges team CANCAN - gave an exciting overview of his pioneering work linking neuroendocrine and tumour-derived signals to neuropsychiatric symptoms in cancer-associated cachexia.
