Nice #LightningTalk from @maxbeesley.bsky.social as part of #PPCG 2025 meeting

Using @10xgenomics.bsky.social #Visium & #inferCNV to spatially profile clonal heterogeneity & metastasis in #ProstateCancer

Real treat to hear Ros Eeles explain rationale for genetic risk in #ProstateCancer screening.

A few key observations
•~50% of genetic risk still unknown (N.B. was 95% 10 yrs ago)
•difference between common (RR x2) and rare (RR 5-10x) variants
•Most RR refers to any PCa NOT lethal disease

Great to be at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social #SpatialBiology Day in Robens Suite atop #GuysTower

Exciting to see critical mass of spatial tech, bioinformatics, biobanking, metallomics expertise and more

Really loved @10xgenomics.bsky.social session @theaacr.bsky.social #AACR25 #SpotlightPresentation by Jingxian Liu on Tumour Evolution & Clonal detection using Visium spatial tech.

Can't wait to set up some collaborative conversations with the Ding Lab @washumedicine.bsky.social!

Brilliant session focused entirely on spatial multiomics @theaacr.bsky.social #AUA25

Well said @tanevski.bsky.social "Cancer is a spatial disease-spatialomics is the future of cancer science"!

Wonderful composite spatial data from Linghua Wang @mdanderson.bsky.social

Good to be involved in the @cancerresearchuk.org #ClinicalReseachers meeting at @rcn.org.uk Cavendish Sq.

Great opportunity to meet other #ClinicianScientists, network & discuss high quality science.

Really enjoyed @mirjana-efremova.bsky.social talk on phenotypic plasticity in #ColorectalCancer

V cool to be starting first proper day @QMBCI.bsky.social Charterhouse Sq! Thanks to Francesca C & Nitzan Rosenfeld for taking me on as Group Leader in Centre for Cancer Evolution🧬. And to Guys Urology for making it work🙏

Looking forward to rebuilding #SPACE_Study team here - recruiting soon!

Just out in @bmj.com, our "Uncertainties in Practice" article on #LATP vs #TRUS

We highlight evidence so far, discordance between recommendations (@UroWeb.bsky.social vs @NIHR.bsky.social vs #AUA) & need for nuance (!)

Not long now until #TranslateTrial...

Really useful 2 days #UR-UK in Bristol. Meeting of 32 research-active UK urologists

ToR: networking to identify areas for game-changing research in Uro-oncology

Grateful for support from TUF, J&J, Astellas & Medac

Will be fascinating to see organic development of this group over next few years.

Really looking forward to two days brainstorming on urological research at inaugural #UR-UK meeting in Bristol with @jonathananing.bsky.social, @mralexlaird.bsky.social, @tomjmitchell.bsky.social, @maxinegbtran.bsky.social et al.

@BAUSurology.bsky.social

Thanks @TUF.bsky.social for support!

Great quote from the lovely Selena Kim, former PhD student of Prof Val Macaulay

"Val taught me how to be a logical but creative scientist...and the importance of humility and compassion in how we work"
November 20, 2024 at 2:33 PM
Moving to attend memorial symposium for our recently departed friend & colleague Prof Val Macaulay

Amazing career in #IGF-1 signalling & #ProstateCancer

Perhaps even more significantly in supervising 30+ PhDs & widely known for her quiet empathy & compassion, alongside scientific sharpness & drive

Belated post to thank @BAUSurology.bsky.social Oncology Section for excellent meeting in Nottingham #BAUSOncology2024. Cutting edge talks & stimulating conversation!

Think we're on the cusp of something new & exciting with upcoming #UR-UK (Uro-oncology Research UK) inaugural meeting...
