Oxford cancer researchers are rapidly translating scientific discovery into better outcomes for patients
Hear from our Directors @tim_tje & Mark Middleton about what Oxford cancer research is all about and what makes @UniofOxford & @OUH_Research the place for medical innovation
Oxford Cancer retweeted
"We now know that cancer does not come from nowhere."
Prof Sarah Blagden, director of a new research collaboration between pharma giant GSK and the University of Oxford, tells #R4Today about the development of a new 'pre-cancer' vaccine that could target the disease earlier.
'This partnership represents a step forward in cancer research.'
Professor Irene Tracey comments on the launch of a new £50million immuno-prevention collaboration between @UniofOxford and @GSK to advance novel cancer research. 👇

Wrapping up the event, OxCODE Associate Director @leedham_simon summarises OxCODE’s history and achievements
Thanks to our sponsors @moderna_tx and Veritie Diagnostics and all participants and attendees for a stimulating conference celebrating our 5 year anniversary!
#oxcode24
We are privileged to have @GeorgiaBBlack @QMUL_WIPH give the final keynote of the OxCODE symposium on the organisation of non-specific symptom cancer pathways
#oxcode24
In our last session, we hear about diagnosing cancers with non-specific symptoms in @OUHospitals SCAN (Fergus Gleeson @OxfordOncology & Claire Friedemann Smith @OxPrimaryCare) and barriers to research participation (Julie-Ann Moreland @OUHospitals & Aduke Onofowokan)
#oxcode24
How to get your research funded? We heard insights from our panel:
Talisia Quallo @CRUKResearch
Florence Theberge @The_MRC
Janette Rawlinson @OxfordCancer PPI
@FrancoiseSHowe #oxcode
Chaired by @sarah_blagden
#oxcode24
Last before lunch, we hear lightning talks from
James Chettle @OxfordOncology
@NatalieJooss @MRC_WIMM
#oxcode24
Switching gears to risk stratification, we hear from Ling Yang @Oxford_NDPH on chronic pathogen infections and the risk of cancer and Andres Tamm @OxPrimaryCare on FIT for colorectal cancer risk stratification
#oxcode24
We warmly welcome our keynote speaker in the early cancer biology session, Sam Janes @lungsforliving @DoM_UCL, who gave a fascinating summary of his research on pre-invasive lung cancer progression
#oxcode24
Day 2 of the OxCODE symposium begins with the early cancer biology session featuring:
Asger Jacobsen @MRC_WIMM on pre-leukaemic clonal selection
@leedham_simon @HumanGeneticsOx on spatial biology to understand colorectal cancer development
#oxcode24
Welcome back to the Oxford Centre for Cancer Early Detection and Prevention (OxCODE) symposium!
Today we will hear the latest on early cancer biology, risk, diagnosing cancer with non-specific symptoms and a panel discussion on getting research funded.
Stay tuned!
#oxcode24
OxCODE Associate Director @sarah_blagden closes the first day and encourages further conversations over networking drinks
Thanks to our sponsors @moderna_tx and Veritie Diagnostics
#oxcode24
In our final talk of day 1, we are honoured to hear from keynote Dame Molly Stevens @KavliOxford, who discusses an impressive array of new bioengineering approaches to treat and detect cancer
#oxcode24
In our early detection technologies session, Fergus Gleeson shares the outputs from @dartlunghealth in lung cancer screening and @mikepavlides_1 @RDMOxford describes a liver MRI project building on @DeLIVER_HCC
#oxcode24
We hear from two recently funded @CRUKResearch preventive cancer vaccine projects:
Nancy Zaarour @oxfordahmedlab @Ox_wrh on OvarianVax
David Church @HumanGeneticsOx on LynchVax
#oxcode24
Kicking off our session on preventive cancer vaccines, Catriona Gilmour Hamilton @OxfordCancer and PPI rep @anna_fry share the lessons learned so far from PPI consultations on the research to use vaccines to prevent cancer
#oxcode24
Last before lunch, we hear lightning talks from:
@LucyDenly @Ludwig_Cancer
@DVVavoulis @OxfordOncology
Yi-Jhih Huang @OxfordOncology
@lucygoudswaard @BristolCancer
Learn more about their research at the poster session over lunch!
#oxcode24
Next is a panel discussion on translating research for patient benefit, featuring:
Hazel Beaver @OxfordCancer PPI
Claire Brown @OxfordSciEnt
@annadowrick @oxprimarycare
@velculescu @hopkinskimmel
Chaired by @EleanorBarnesOx
#oxcode24
Continuing with tech:
@McCullaghGroup @OxfordChemistry discusses metabolomics for early detection
@sarah_blagden @OxfordOncology & Eleni Adamopoulou @NDMOxford describe their use of immunopeptidomics to discover vaccine targets to prevent BRCA-associated cancers
#oxcode24
We are delighted to host Victor Velculescu @velculescu @hopkinskimmel as our first keynote speaker at the OxCODE Symposium
Victor shared his work on cell-free DNA fragmentomics for early detection of a variety of cancers
