A new trial has found that a progesterone-based drug can support breast cancer treatment when used alongside standard therapy. This began with research at our Institute by Prof Jason Carroll and colleagues, and was taken into the clinic via the #PIONEER trial with @CUH_NHS.
Our final year MD/PhD student @k_sadzikowska presented her findings at the latest Clinical Research Fellows Meeting at the Crick Institute! 👩⚕️ Well done, Krysia 👏
Today the lab attended the annual Precision Breat Cancer Symposium #CPBC2025 and showcased some of our projects! 🧬 A great day discussing the latest advancements in the field with our own @k_sadzikowska deservingly winning the poster prize 🏆🥳 !
Our lab's very first manuscript is out in BioRxiv. Hope this would be interesting for many breast cancer scientists: https://t.co/HuiFaJ7LuG
