We're so proud of our faculty members who have won #CancerGrandChallenges funding - Leanne Li will lead team InteroCANCEption, investigating how the brain and nervous system sense and respond to changes in the body. They will explore how the brain might detect tumours and influence how they grow.
Congratulations to our faculty members who have received #CancerGrandChallenges funding! Bart Vanhaesebroeck will lead REWIRE CAN with @christophertape.bsky.social and @vivianlilab.bsky.social, unpicking the way cancer develops by using optimal oncogenic signalling to cause permanent cell division.
Congratulations to Prof Bart Vanhaesebroeck, Prof @christophertape.bsky.social & Team REWIRE-CAN on securing $25m in @cancergrand.bsky.social funding to take on the challenge of rewiring cancer cells.

🎧 New podcast feature Prof. Kimmie Ng, from the Cancer Grand Challenges team OPTIMISTICC, was recently interviewed on Podnosis, the Fierce Healthcare podcast exploring the biggest trends and challenges shaping healthcare today. In the episode, Prof. Ng discusses why colorectal cancer rates are rising in younger people — including the role of diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, obesity, and the microbiome. As part of OPTIMISTICC, her team is leading an international cohort study to better understand the mechanisms driving young-onset colorectal cancer. ▶️ Listen to the full podcast: https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/providers/how-doctors-are-rethinking-care-colorectal-cancer-shifts-younger #CancerGrandChallenges #CancerResearch #ColorectalCancer #GlobalHealth #HealthInnovation
