Thank you for having me @CRUKresearch! Nice to be back in London and talking about pre-cancer. All the sessions were packed with exciting research, lots to think and work on #PrevConf25.
Immensely rich panel chaired by @lauradelongwood with @jansen_marnix, @yosoykit, Profs Jane & Jones unearthed key future research questions on defining pre-cancer—paving the way for nuanced preventive strategies, mindful of patient & public views on downstream effect #PrevConf25

Our work using copy number alterations (CNAs) from low-coverage WGS as a biomarker to predict FUTURE colorectal cancer in patients with IBD is published today! Hugely proud of our team and this work, we hope we can get this in patients' hands sooner rather than later. @Gut_BMJ.

Hi @radychildrens! Is there a timeframe for the gift shop reopening? How can we all help make this happen, if help is needed? It means a lot to our kiddos who are regulars and there is nothing else within walking distance. 🩷.

Check out our new preprint showing aneuploidy predicts CRC in IBD-LGD, validated in multicenter cohorts. This was a large team effort and I’m excited to share with you all!
Inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD) increases bowel cancer risk: 1/3 of patients with low grade dysplasia (LGD) will get cancer. This risk is very high &reason for treatment. But also major conundrum b/c 2/3 patients with LGD won't get cancer. Can we know who is really at risk? 1/3.

We’ve been busy in the lab and I’ve been totally slacking on this platform! No pictures from AACR in SD which was AMAZING and now I’m in DC for @DDWMeeting - come hear my talk on math models in GI screening at 9:15am! Looking forward to the week #mathonco.
