Extremely proud of our team effort! Stellar scientists! Well done @cbailey_58 @oriol_pich 🎉

[Charles Swanton @CharlesSwanton]

ecDNA are rogue genetic material that amplify genes, contribute to treatment resistance and drive genomic heterogeneity. We report on the Origins and impact of extrachromosomal DNA today in @Nature https://t.co/TnMno4AZhU

[Jens Luebeck @Jens_Luebeck]

One of the most frequent questions I hear about ecDNA is "why does it matter how oncogenes are amplified?"

These three amazing papers out today answer that and many more questions. Particularly, check out how the unique biology of ecDNA exposes a therapeutic vulnerability! 👇3⃣

[Cancer Grand Challenges @CancerGrand]

Today #CancerGrandChallenges team eDyNAmiC and their international collaborators published 3️⃣ papers in
@Nature 📣

They show the prevalence of ecDNA in cancer, identify fundamental mechanisms and an actionable target now being tested in the clinic.

"[Cancer Grand Challenges is] one of the most important international research partnerships in cancer science." 🌎

Incredible to see Lord Simon Stevens, Chair of @CR_UK, calling on the UK government to support #CancerGrandChallenges - thank you!

[Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK @CRUKresearch]

Meet Chris Bailey 👉 Specialist Registrar in #Haematology & Clinical Research Fellow at @TheCrick.

He told us about his work on #ecDNA & how this molecule challenges traditional models of #tumour evolution & drug resistance: https://t.co/ULfiJSX0Pl

[Gina Stavrou @GinaStav_]

I had an incredible time speaking to budding scientists and reminiscing the time I had spent visiting labs back in the day! Hopefully I've convinced them that STEM is the way forward 👩‍🔬🧬🔬🧪

[UCL Cancer Institute @uclcancer]

Many thanks to all the organisers and lab hosts involved in @uclcancer/@CRUKCOLcentre science taster week! The students had a great experience which exposed them to plenty of new and exciting opportunities 🌟

[The Francis Crick Institute @TheCrick]

A study in @TheLancet from @cbailey_58, @dremmacbw, @DavidLVBauer and others shows the importance of the asymptomatic COVID testing for NHS staff we provided with @UCLH @UCLHResearch and HSL. It also offers a blueprint for future NHS-academic partnerships.

Find @GinaStav_ between 11am-6pm (CEST) at #EACR2023 today to find out how she's exploring the B(r)east by investigating the prevalence of #extrachromosomal DNA in #BreastCancer:

[Marisol Soengas @msmelanoma]

Future entrepreneurs?
Many questions at the #EACR2023 “Meet the Expert” session (x2) on start ups and other opportunities beyond the bench.
These topics should definitively be part of the training of new researchers.
@EACRnews

[Professor Dame Sue Hill @CSOSue]

On this day in 1953, Francis Crick, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin published the structure of DNA – the molecule that contains the blueprint for how we all grow and develop – in @Nature. Here is a thread on how this has led to a revolution in healthcare some 70 years on.

[Charles Swanton @CharlesSwanton]

Excited to share our recent @SwantonLab @NickyMcGranahan & @MariamJHanjani lab work on the genomic evolution of non-small cell lung cancer metastases in #TRACERx, out @Nature

This is consistent with our companion papers, which show the association between large recent subclonal expansion, metastasising subclones and poor clinical outcomes. https://t.co/x6fntrEkym https://t.co/bmV9Q0cySW

[Charles Swanton @CharlesSwanton]

Delighted to present our paper on the evolutionary characterisation of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) morphology in the TRACERx cohort, published @NatureMedicine led by @TakKarasaki @davidallanmoore @NickyMcGranahan @MariamJHanjani @SwantonLab
