Excited to have the opportunity to receive MRFF funding to study a new type of PET scan to help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) together with fantastic team incl @UMCCR @rtothill @BowtellLab

[Atara Posner @AtaraPosner]

Congratulations @rtothill and the SUPER team @LindaMileshkin for receiving an #MRFF grant to provide diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities for unmet need cancer patients #cup #genomics #precisionmedicine

[Collaborative Centre for Genomic Cancer Medicine @GenCancerCentre]

The SUPER-NEXT study to genetically sequence patients w/ cancers of unmet need—providing clearer diagnosis & targeted, personalised treatment options—has received almost $5m MRFF funding, led by @rtothill in collab w/ @LindaMileshkin @PeterMacCC >> https://t.co/hMqpnBz8rU

#coronavirus #COVID19 #COVID2019 #scRNAseq
We have developed a new and exciting tool (#ViralTrack) to detect viruses in scRNA-seq data.

**We are looking for SARS-COV2 scRNA-seq patient data**

If you have such data and wish to collaborate, please contact us ASAP! Please RT!

#UMCCRSeminar: The @UMCCR_RADIO_Lab is investigating an understudied type of T cell infiltrating Merkel cell carcinoma—a rare but aggressive #skincancer—with likely prognostic and therapeutic significance for patients.

Dr @rtothill's @UMCCR_RADIO_Lab is working to improve outcomes in rare and less common cancers through development of better diagnostic and prognostic clinical tests, targeted treatments, ad predictive markers of therapeutic response. #LorneCancer https://t.co/COXRpwI2ES

“Every cancer is a results of genetic scars, which is damage that occurs to DNA over time. By combining sequencing of the whole #cancer #genome with a suite of analysis tools, we can characterise every genetic change found in a cancer." Prof @seangrimmond

Asking all the #cancer #organoid growers out there: is there a magic growth factor I can use to get slow growers to grow before they die out. Currently using pancreatic cancer media for #rarecancer organoids.🙏

[Collaborative Centre for Genomic Cancer Medicine @GenCancerCentre]

Cancers of unmet need, such as pancreatic, are hard to tackle as they don’t respond to standard therapies, there are few cases to use as comparison, and are difficult to diagnose with potentially little information to track their origin @seangrimmond #monlunchlive
