🔎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

Prof Louise Jones @qmbci sets out the future of machine learning within pathology, using integrated multi-modal data to give the most accurate prediction of patient outcome. Exciting to hear about the training programme that will support #PharosAI, helping pathologists embrace AI

📰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: bci.qmul.ac.uk/general-news/2… @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

[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.

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 👉 bci.qmul.ac.uk/general-news/2… @QMUL | @CRUKCOLcentre

2nd keynote: Prof Louise Jones @QMBCI on 'Mining morphology: genotype through phenotype and more'. Prof Jones' research focuses on development of breast cancer from in situ to invasive disease, prediction and new treatment targets @TheCrick @kingsmedicine @uclcancer

Prof Kairbaan @HodivalaDilkeLab @QMBCI launching our TME, Imaging and Translation symposium, asking delegates to shape the future of this research theme, bringing together discovery research and translational impact @CR_UK @kingsmedicine @TheCrick @uclcancer
