Join us for the Children’s Cancer Research Open Day on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus: Friday 26 April, 10am-2pm, Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre.
Our members Cambridge Stem Cell Institute will be giving tours where you can see the lab & hear about our research on neuroblastoma! Book: orlo.uk/gjfWy
New discovery! Existing drugs could be used to prevent #BreastCancer instead of surgery.
When looking at healthy carriers of BRCA mutations, Sara Pensa Austin Reed and Walid Khaled Walid Khaled found cells normally only seen in late-stage tumours. Read on bit.ly/3VzuVXp
Finally, we are excited about the prospect of using our data to develop early detection and prevention of hereditary breast cancer. Sara Pensa is setting up a Patient Focus Group who will help us develop the research. If you want to get involved, please fill out this form.
We're very excited to watch the The Boat Race this weekend to support our PhD student Gemma King! Best of luck to her and all our Cambridge University teams!
📢Congratulations to Austin Reed, Sara Pensa and the Walid Khaled for their Nature Genetics paper out today!
Find a summary of the work here: stemcells.cam.ac.uk/news/exhausted…
Or head over to Nature to read the work for yourself! nature.com/articles/s4158…
📢Join us on 26th March at 12:30 for our next #ECISeminar . Simón Méndez-Ferrer will speak on The bone marrow niche as an actionable target during myeloid leukaemogenesis.
