Kudos to the CGA-IGC research committee for organizing this forum to discuss collaborative research opportunities! >100 attendees! #CGAIGC21

Contact Becky Truscott Inherited Tumour Syndromes Research Group to join our international collaborative study looking at incidence of duodenal polyps in MAP patients. Over 400 patients and 14 centres involved so far! CGA-IGC European Hereditary Tumour Group

Today is Rare Disease Day and it’s a day to raise awareness for the 300 million people in the world with over 6000 rare diseases. If you or a loved one have a rare disease write it in the comments and make it seen. #RareDiseaseDay #RareDisease #allontheboard

Project with cellesce to develop patient derived organoids for #polyposis. Huge thanks to all of the patients and clinicians involved in this project. Inherited Tumour Syndromes Research Group Becky Truscott Angharad Walters #RareDiseaseDay

Scientists report a multi-organ tumor predisposition syndrome caused by bi-allelic LoF germline variants in MBD4. Their findings advocate for the inclusion of MBD4 in genetic testing for polyposis & multi-tumor phenotypes. Learn more in AJHG: bit.ly/3LtzfzC

Want to know about new disease models for bowel cancer? Come and see our jelly organoids! Alethea Tang Inherited Tumour Syndromes Research Group Becky Truscott Wales Gene Park

Had a fab time in Mallorca for EHTGtweets, hearing about all the exciting research happening and was great to have the opportunity to present our work on duodenal disease in MAP. The sunshine was an added bonus 😎 Thanks to The Genetics Society for the travel grant to allow me to come!

Many thanks Inherited Tumour Syndromes Research Group Laura Thomas Becky Truscott & colleagues who brought their brilliant jelly organoids along to Genomics Partnership Wales (GPW) #GPWGenomicsAfterDark this evening to explain their research into new disease models for bowel cancer! 🧬

We had a great time talking about our research with bowel organoids.Thank you for having us Wales Gene Park! Alethea Tang Becky Truscott SU Medical School Inherited Tumour Syndromes Research Group

Thank you Wales Gene Park for having us! It was an absolute pleasure to share how bowel organoids can be used for bowel cancer research. We had lots of fun making and showing off our jelly organoids! Laura Thomas Becky Truscott SU Medical School

One week to go until the Pint of Science Festival 2023! Tickets still available for events in Cardiff, including the Viruses: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly evening which it has been a pleasure to help organise with Rosie Mundy Alicia hannah preston
