New cancer therapeutic originally developed with DCG’s @virustinkerer lab headed by @alanlparker set to enter the clinic after clinical trial application submitted to MHRA @theWCRC @cardiffuni

[Alan Parker @alanlparker]

Delighted to report Accession Therapeutics have submitted a clinical trial application and expect first patient to be treated with Trocept-01 in 2024. The underlying technology was developing @virustinkerer lab @cardiffuni. Amazing progress.

So grateful to @bloodcancer_uk for funding research in #AML @haematology_CU. Without the fundraising and support from patients and family we would not be making the good progress we have seen in the last decade to #beatbloodcancer. @DCGResearch @CUBLSResearch @cardiffuni

[Division of Cancer & Genetics @DCGResearch]

@alex_tonks @AlanaziRN @BritSocHaem @haematology_CU Congratulations @AlanaziRN on your progress as part of your PhD Studies. Good to see your hard work paying off with the opportunity to present to leaders within the haematology field
