Oxford meets Oregon

Lung cancer is the biggest cause of cancer mortality in the UK and worldwide.

Learn more about the Oxford-led research that's looking at the use of AI to improve early diagnosis of lung cancer, thanks to funding from UK Research and Innovation, NIHR Research, Cancer Research UK and industry partners.

The first MERSCOPE of the UK landed at the single cell facility at the MRC WIMM, University of Oxford Really thrilled to start working on Spatial transcriptomics on our amazing systems, including human bone marrow, zebrafish and mouse!!! Looking forward to getting everyone involved.

Our final session of the day is starting now! Hear from researchers and clinicians as they describe results that have come from studies that involved collaborations between medical institutions and centers. #REACH22 Cancer Epi & Genetics Bita Nehoray Pugh Lab Prof Sarah Blagden

Dr. Yasuhiro Furuichi, the discoverer of the cap structure of mRNA, passed away at the age of 81. (Not yet reported in English media, but apparently in Japanese media - see translated page below.)
