An interesting event for the public to engage with research at Nottingham Trent University on the 11th of December!

[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

Over 100 #PancreaticCancer researchers joined us in Birmingham last week for #PCUKForum2025 🔬

Two great days of discussion & debate around key research challenges in the field plus plenty of opportunities for networking & collaboration.

Thanks to everyone who came along!

[Silvia Ottaviani @ottaviani_s]

And that’s a wrap! I’ve enjoyed so much the #PCUKForum2025! Thank you @PancreaticCanUK for organizing this annually. Such a great opportunity to have the time to discuss and talk to all involved in pancreatic cancer research 💜

[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

Final session at #PCUKForum2025 @jen_morton chairs panel discussing therapeutic innovations for #PancreaticCancer & improving clinical translation.

Thanks to panel @BiffiGiulia @claus_jorgensen @BristiBasu8 @ShivanSivakumar @MichelleDGarre2 @HemnatKoch76708 Ganesh Radhakrishna.

We’re back in Birmingham for day two of our #PCUKForum2025!

Our CEO @dijupp is introducing todays programme which includes heterogeneity in #PancreaticCancer and strategies for therapeutic innovation.

[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

It’s fantastic to have a number of people with lived experience of #PancreaticCancer joining us at this year’s #PCUKForum2025.

This afternoon they are helping to lead discussions on purposeful #PPIE & turning insight into impact in research.

[Silvia Ottaviani @ottaviani_s]

En route to Birmingham for the @PancreaticCanUK annual Discovery and Translational Research Forum! Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and discussing #PancreaticCancer #PCUKForum2025 💜

[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

It's officially #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth! 💜

Pancreatic cancer is hard to diagnose and difficult to treat, so early detection can help save lives.

Symptoms can be vague and may vary. But by raising awareness, more people will know the signs to look out for.

Extremely proud of Shraddha, research assistant in my lab, for winning this year’s Images of Research award🥇! She captured a beautiful picture showing the complex nature of #PancreaticCancer. Huge congratulations on this achievement! @vanGeestCancer @NTUBIOSCIENCES @NTUNews

[Silvia Ottaviani @ottaviani_s]

Congratulations to my PhD student Almigdad for winning third place🏆 for best presentation at NTU Star conference! Almigdad’s project investigates the role of #lncRNAs in #PancreaticCancer progression. Well done Almigdad! @NTUBIOSCIENCES @vanGeestCancer @ntu_research

What a great morning of science fun @NottsFOSAC 🧬 🧫 🧪 Thanks to all wonderful kids and parents that came along and got involved in many fun science activities! Thanks to all @NTUSciTech students and staff from @NTUBIOSCIENCES and @NTUEng that made it happen!

[NTUScienceTechnology @NTUSciTech]

Fantastic sessions at Clifton Library today for @NottsFOSAC 🥳Our departments of @NTUEng and @NTUBIOSCIENCES along with PhD students ran fun experiments, including extracting DNA from strawberries, explaining how the brain works and why some animals can see in the dark! 👀

70 years after the discovery of the structure of DNA, could it now become a Lego structure? 🧱

MSc Bioengineering student Daniel has designed @Lego_DNA that will become an official Lego set if it gets 10,000 supporters

Help turn it into a reality👇

It took 3 years, 4 rounds of reviews, 96 VISIUM samples, 10 cancer types, and 1 clinical trial, but it's finally out:
