🔎What does an artificial tumour look like? And how can building one reveal better ways to treat cancer? Dr Joash Joy (@joy_Joash) is creating intricate 'tumours on a chip' to investigate why immune therapies don’t work well for some types of cancer. ⬇Hear more about his work

📰 A new AI tool could help doctors identify which skin cancers are most likely to spread. We spoke to Prof Alex Wang (@JunAlexWang1) & Dr Emilia Peleva to find out more about their new study and next steps ⬇️ https://t.co/Yp6txublDP @QMUL | @QMULBartsTheLon | @CRUKCOLcentre

🎉 Join us in congratulating four BCI researchers who have been promoted! Promoted to Professor: 🔹Professor Angus Cameron 🔹Professor Jun Wang Promoted to Senior Lecturer: 🔹Dr Diu Nguyen Promoted to Reder: 🔹Dr Miguel Ganuza @QMUL | @QMULBartsTheLon | @CRUKCOLcentre

3/ The trial results showed that people given the treatment lived nearly twice as long as those given standard chemotherapy. Around 30% of people achieved a complete remission following treatment, meaning all detectable signs of the disease had disappeared.

2/ 💬Prof Powles says: "This is a landmark moment in the care of advanced bladder cancer – the first of its kind in 40 years."

📰 NICE has approved a new breakthrough, life-extending combination treatment for bladder cancer for use in the NHS from today, following trials led by Prof @tompowles1 at BCI @QMUL. Read more: https://t.co/29sJdboPjo @QMULBartsTheLon | @CRUKCOLcentre

Congratulations to our team at the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tissue Bank (PCRFTB), who have achieved a landmark international accreditation for excellence in biobanking 🎉 https://t.co/OSF59g3DGT @QMULBartsTheLon | @QMUL | @LabKocher

BCI’s Prof @JaneSosabowski and Dr Jennifer Young will lead a £1m project studying radiolabelled nanomedicines. The team will track how these nanomedicines move within the body, helping to improve tumour targeting and avoid unintended accumulation and side effects.

💡 £10 million has been awarded to a new UK-wide partnership investigating innovative healthcare nanotechnologies. The initiative, funded by @EPSRC, will unite researchers at BCI @QMUL, @KingsCollegeLon & @UniversityLeeds. Read more: https://t.co/3jQOmxOsKZ @QMULBartsTheLon

🌟We recently welcomed 43 aspiring young scientists to BCI as part of two programmes (STARS & BURSThrough) designed to break down perceived barriers to #HigherEducation & ignite students' aspirations to pursue careers in #STEM 🧪 📰 https://t.co/YO4DLdOQex @QMUL | @CRUKCOLcentre

📰Could a breath test detect blood cancer? New research from @richeslab at BCI @QMUL funded by @Barts_Charity suggests molecules exhaled in the breath might enable development of a simple, low-cost test to diagnose #lymphoma. Read more: https://t.co/lLaln3nssj @Hemasphere_EHA

🎉We recently celebrated the inaugural lecture of Prof Andrejs Braun, joined by family, friends & colleagues. In his talk, "The Philosopher’s Classroom: Alchemical Fusion of Research & Education," he explored the inseparable nature of research & teaching. @QMUL @QMULBartsTheLon

@QMUL @BloodCancer_Res @CRUKresearch Read the original study, published by Prof Andrejs Braun and Dr Marta Crespi Sallan in @jclinicalinvest: https://t.co/2O5sejU30n .

@QMUL This work was made possible thanks to funding from @BloodCancer_Res and @CRUKresearch.

📰 Cells’ recycling system (autophagy) plays a surprising role in shaping immune cell DNA, new research from the BCI @QMUL shows. The findings could have implications for the development of certain #bloodcancer and #autoimmune diseases.  https://t.co/B39Pfl9lPK .

[1/8] We had a brilliant time at @ProstateUK March for Men this weekend, talking all things research with our incredible supporters. 🧵 🕵️‍♀️Research detectives from @QMBCI walked the route with some of our amazing families.

@QMUL @QMULBartsTheLon @CRUKCOLcentre 2/ The findings by Dr Mirjana Efremova and her team could lay the foundation for developing therapies that prevent metastasis by targeting the mechanisms that cancer cells use to change and grow. This study was funded @CRUKresearch and @Barts_Charity

📰A new study by BCI @QMUL has uncovered molecules that enable bowel cancer cells to hijack our gut’s natural healing processes to adapt, spread and grow. Read more: https://t.co/JB2KrJQ2Ul @QMULBartsTheLon | @CRUKCOLcentre

Francesca Ciccarelli is up next to tell us about spatial drivers of response to immunotherapy in colon cancer Thank you to @Transnetyx for sponsoring Francesca’s talk! @QMBCI | @TheCrick | @CRUKCOLcentre | #BICC2025

Our #ECRs were asked who they wanted to hear speak at #BICC2025 and they invited Mirjana Efremova from @QMBCI, she presented her work on phenotypic heterogeneity in colorectal cancer metastasis

📰Could CAR-T cell therapy become an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer? Our researchers have developed a new strategy to help CAR-T cells enter pancreatic tumours, improving their cancer-killing potential. Read more 👉 https://t.co/DWwqx1xf4x @QMUL | @CRUKCOLcentre
