It is a startling fact, but one in every two people will suffer with a urology disease in their life time. These range from the five urology cancers to benign conditions, such as incontinence, that can blight lives. Find out more theurologyfoundation.org/ #urologyhealth #UAM22

For those who missed the original announcement: the Integrative Cancer Genomics lab at @vib_ccb & @Onco_KULeuven is hiring an experienced wet-lab scientist. Last week to apply (and thanks for spreading the word)! 🙏
We're hiring: jobso.id/f5d6! Looking for a wet-lab #scientist to head our work in tumor evolution at @vib_ccb & @Onco_KULeuven for years to come. Interact with bioinformaticians, clinicians & @VIBTechWatch while tinkering with @nanopore + #SingleCell #sequencing tech.

Following the conclusion of negotiations, the sale of Oldham Athletic AFC can now be confirmed. We are also at an advanced stage to purchase Boundary Park Stadium, hopefully within the course of the next week. #oafc

Just published! The model development for predicting urinary tract cancer in patients with haematuria! Why not try it out? Download the ‘IDENTIFY risk calculator’ app on apple and android! @BURSTurology @EurUrolFocus @PelvicERAS @m_e_nielsen @veerukasi doi.org/10.1016/j.euf.2022.0…

We found that upfront cfDNA NGS in pts with newly diagnosed mNSCLC increased the tier 1 variant detection rate by 46% vs tissue alone and halves time to treatment. It is time for a ‘Plasma-first’ cfDNA-NGS approach in NSCLC @DrSanjayPopat #LCSM sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Great opportunity for anyone interested in #epigenetics & #braintumor research.

😢 Meanwhile… it has become almost fashionable to announce leaving the UK to work elsewhere in Europe

Well done @tracepigen @Ismail_Moghul, @simonrodney & @StephanBeck6. Comparison and imputation-aided integration of five commercial platforms for targeted DNA methylome analysis. nature.com/articles/s4158

UPDATE: The BRCA-DIRECT study has delivered #GeneticTesting results to over 600 people with #BreastCancer. Shout-out to @generoom, @SuzanneMacmahon and the whole team in the Centre of Molecular Pathology for continuing to deliver test results for our participants!

Great opportunity to join the Mair lab (mair-lab.com/) in Cambridge. Two fantastic projects: 1) astrocytoma biology jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/34480/, 2) jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/34480/ in collaboration with the @Massie_Lab on ctDNA epigenetics & Nanopore #CRUK_ACED
Great work form the iROC team @Jkurol, @JimCatto, @p_khetrapal & everyone one else involved, including support from @TUF_tweets and The Champniss Foundation
In this trial, robot-assisted surgery vs open surgery for radical cystectomy among patients with #bladdercancer resulted in a statistically significantly greater number of days alive and out of the hospital. ja.ma/3wdvIA0

Excited to be at the #AUA2022 to present the results of the iROC trial comparing iRARC and ORC. Press event today, podium tomorrow

In our manuscript by the Genomics of #MPNST (GeM) consortium, we present the analysis of ~100 #MPNSTs using #WGS, RNAseq, EPIC arrays and multi-reg. exome seq. A summary of key findings, including modes of #MPNST evolution & detection of prognostic copy number patterns in cfDNA👇
Genomic patterns of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) evolution correlate with clinical outcome and are detectable in cell-free DNA biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Tumor samples vary in purity and ploidy, both of which confound DNA methylation measures from bulk sequencing. We developed CAMDAC to clean up this signal. Here's our extended preprint with new insights from applying CAMDAC to TRACERx lung RRBS data: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The sun setting on Boundary Park, and sadly Oldham Athletic’s time in the Football League. For now at least

A great sunset to accompany an evening run through Exmouth.
