Two days in Birmingham with the Christmas Markets and the fantastic Justin Hayward. Now on to London for @thekingsfund.bsky.social Annual Conference.

This is an exciting breakthrough from @cancerresearchuk.org and @nihr.bsky.social . Tools like PRRDetect will play a big part in the future of personalised medicine for cancer – helping more people receive treatments tailored to them.
Scientists we co-fund at @CambridgeUni.Bsky.Social have developed an algorithm that could pave the way for more personalised cancer treatments! It can pinpoint patterns of mutation in cancer cells and could help identify the patients who could benefit most from immunotherapy.
