Myself and other top oncologists interviewed in the Guardian on what we do to reduce our risk of cancer. It is a really nice article to read. It is doing the simple things that count! @unibirmingham @ImmunologyUoB @uhbtrust

The 'gene deserts' unravelling the mysteries of disease – Prof Richard Houlston (@HoulstonLab_ICR) spoke with @DrDavidACox for this @BBC_Future piece on how mutations in 'junk' DNA are increasingly being linked to a range of diseases, including cancer 👇

First post pandemic #ArthurThomson lecture @unibirm_MDS entitled Variability is the law of life by @BPSPresident @MPUoL Sir Professor Munir Pirmohamed who I had the great pleasure hosting @IcgsUob this morning
Delighted to share that @IkShinChin1 passed her PhD viva @IcgsUob earlier this week. Momentous day for her and the Palles lab -she is PhD number one! Thanks to examiners @MarcHaber and David Church & chair John Halsall & of course @CRUKBirmingham for funding this clinical PhD!

Today we remember Dame Deborah James ( @bowelbabe ). She was an inspiration, and we’re proud to call her our patron and friend. She was a beacon of light whose legacy will continue to save lives for many years to come💛

Really shocked and saddened to hear that the #NCRI is being wound down. I personally have benefitted from the networking opportunities created by the NCRI and always admired all that they did to support cancer research in the UK. What now??? ncri.org.uk/ncri-is-winding-…

Practice changing results from @aiims_newdelhi. Topical diclofenac reduces grade 2 + Capecitabine induced HFS. Interesting that lower HFS was seen in placebo group too. Only 15% compared to 30%. #livingwithandbeyondcancer. Something to implement @CRCTU @uhbtrust ?

Downtown Chicago with #ASCO23 in town. Is this the only time you hear “DNA sequencing talk” in every restaurant, bar and street corner?

Poster session underway @ #ASCO23. Check out board 226 for the first bio marker of cardiovascular toxicity induced by fluoropyrimide. Nearly 8 fold increased risk in carriers of two copies of the risk allele. @IcgsUob @cardiffuni @UniofOxford @ICR_London @glasgow @CRUKScotland
