Meet the scientific committee for #MAP2024 👇
One of this year's co-chairs is @MariamJHanjani, principal investigator on the #CRUKFunded#TRACERx study providing novel insights into how we treat lung cancer. Register now 👉 https://t.co/YRnZYzl91V

Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models allow cancer researchers to study tumour tissue from patients in mice.
Our @CRUKLungCentre paper @NatureComms describes 48 new PDX models and highlights the importance of intratumor heterogeneity in the development of cancer models (1/9)
#blavatnik2024 UK symposium "The History of a Tumour: Exploiting Data to Understand Cancer Evolution" 2024 @Blavatnik Awards UK🇬🇧 Laureate Nicholas McGranahan @NickyMcGranahan@UCL@UCLNews https://t.co/98trUnqowt
Congrats @CharlesSwanton for being awarded the Jeantet-Collen Prize for Translational Medicine for your groundbreaking discoveries in cancer genetics and evolution. All of us at @CR_UK are immensely proud of your superb achievement.
Delighted to see our fantastic Chief Clinician Prof @CharlesSwanton awarded the prestigious Jeantet-Collen Prize for Translational Medicine. His scientific excellence has transformed our understanding of cancer and how to treat it more effectively in the future. We’re all very proud of you Charlie!

MUST READ piece @NewYorker by @DrSidMukherjee on the causes of cancer, role of carcinogens, inflammation, with @CharlesSwanton +team, Balmain, and more.
“Swanton's team had wrestled the mystery down using epidemiology, toxicology, immunology, and human genetics, and then pulled them together into a causal, biologically plausible mechanism for carcinogenesis”

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM#WomenInMedicine#MedTwitter

This was an exciting morning! Discussing the biology of how air pollution promotes never-smoker lung cancer, alongside clinician-scientists @cbailey_58 @MariamJHanjani
It was fantastic to present our work on measuring the proliferation rates of distinct tumour clones using single-cell whole genome DNA sequencing data in #TRACERx & #PEACE at #AACR23! A huge thank you to my supervisors @CharlesSwanton@ZaccaSimo & funders @wellcometrust@CR_UK
Applications open for a PhD in @SwantonLab @TheCrick to study the impact of environmental pollution on lung cancer initiation/promotion- join an incredible team+ institute - please apply or retweet @CRUKresearch @uclcancer https://t.co/DhhHhPbFqb
On Sunday, I'm running the #LondonMarathon with #TeamDEBRA. @CharityDEBRA is the national charity supporting people affected by epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a potentially fatal skin condition that causes severe blistering and constant pain.
