We are recruiting up to 5 Pandemic Sciences Research Fellows at @UniofOxford. Posts are for recent graduates to carry out independent research on topics in one or more of the following areas: AI & Epi, Genomics, Climate & Infectious diseases, Global health digital data science ↓

So @JeremyFarrar asked for an "explainer thread" on Noble Prizes in Chemistry around AlphaFold and Protein design, so here goes.

Brilliant! Just brilliant! Congratulations to David, @demishassabis and John. So well deserved!

Today, we can announce a new industry-government partnership with up to £400 million of investment to support faster patient access to cutting-edge treatments, strengthen clinical trials, and improve UK medicine manufacturing. Find out more: https://t.co/GY06Cclvsi @DHSCgovuk

Great #patient #advocacy opportunity here (not that I'm biased)! Please share. Applications open now: see link for further details. #RareDisease #CancerGenomics #GenOMICC #Genomes100k #GenerationStudy @GenePeopleUK @GeneticAll_UK @Cancer52org @Unique_charity

Interim Innovate UK Executive Chair appointed

Delighted to be appointed Chair of Warwick Innovation at one of the most exciting times in history for science, technology and innovation. Honoured to build on the huge achievements of Lord Bhattacharyya & colleagues’ work at @wmg, @uniofwarwick and beyond. #IndustrialStrategy

CRISPR was just the start

Investing in health research capacity & skills will be critical for driving future innovations & partnerships, making the most of our health data, assets enabling improvements for patients, thus UK productivity & growth @profadmorris @emma_k_lowe @NIHRresearch @UK_Life_Science

Big statement alert: This is a LANDMARK in the history of clinical gene editing. This means we can dose to effect. This means we can sequentially edit targets. This means we can reverse certain edits. Cue "A whole new wooorld..."

This is just so cool. Love it

1/3 🧵 Ahead of the UK #GeneralElection2024, we are co-hosting a free science, innovation and technology hustings. Hear directly from political party representatives, & ask them your questions on science policy. Watch live from 6:30pm, Wednesday 19 June

Moderna can make 34 custom mRNAs on demand - GMP - IN TWO WEEKS to treat a person with cancer. The same can be true for CRISPR Cures for a devastatingly ill infant who needs a custom gRNA to save their life. Yes it can. Watch this space.

Great to see real NHS productivity improvements for patients recognised by #HSJPartnershipAwards @nhsuhcw @IBM

Inspiring talk from Pearse Keane driving home that successful deployment of AI will require coordinated networks of innovation and robust business models @pearsekeane @HDR_UK

There’s one day left to apply for @TheEconomist science and tech writing internship. If you want to work with us for three months over the summer, the details are here:

Important publication from @GenomicsEngland with @NHSEngland data showing that whole genome sequencing combined with clinical data enables precision cancer care and may predict outcomes, treatment choices or inherited risk for patients @UK_Life_Science https://t.co/UXUiBKi4xh

We are thrilled to share this major milestone in our journey to empower individuals to predict and prevent diseases!

EPIDEMIOLOGISTS and similar Job in @OpenSAFELY @BennettOxford @JesusOxford This is a PERSONAL FELLOWSHIP and you get a COLLEGE affiliation. So: YOUR brilliant research projects, 3 years, also you get the food, friendships and mediaeval lifestyle https://t.co/A9Tj3xQDGg
