£370 a year now to watch cycling in the UK & Ireland. It used to be £40 a year (and was actually £20 with an early bird offer). I can understand WBD continuing to simplify the trail of logos they've been dragging around (Eurosport, D+, WBD, HBO, Max, TNT, GCN)... (1/9)

🚀 Exciting News! We have established the PLSD Scientific Advisory Board for the next 5 years, featuring renowned scientists in Lynch syndrome research. 🌟 Our team is actively working on collaborative study proposals to drive groundbreaking research forward.

Progression-free survival was longer with nivolumab plus ipilimumab than with chemotherapy among patients who had not previously received systemic treatment for MSI-H or dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer. #NEJM #medsky #news #meded #oncology Read more www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Bowel Cancer Screening Teams and Cancer MDTs! What do you want to know more about when it comes to #LynchSyndrome ? Help us create the agenda for a national meeting 14th May 2025 @BritSocGastro @nhsengland.bsky.social @stmarksgenomics.bsky.social @acpgbi.bsky.social

"Gamechanging" this really is - regular endoscopy rolled out for people with Lynch syndrome in England. Brilliant progress @kevinjmonahan www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Want to sequence the TCR repertoire in degraded or FFPE samples? Our new FUME-TCRseq method makes it easy (and cheap!). Led by the amazing Annie Baker in our lab at ICR London together with Benny Chain at UCL. aacrjournals.org/cancerres/ar...

Qingli has been sleuthing through cancer genomes... she realised that long indels in mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) tumours are totally distinct from sequencing noise, so enable exquisitely sensitive and robust detection of MMRd even in the poorest quality data & ultra-low tumour content

Congrats to @pebsedwards.bsky.social for winning the John Nicholls Prize 2024 at St Mark’s Frontiers… And giving a brilliant presentation about our work in #LynchSyndrome
