I’ve walked past this wall hundreds of times. I guess an advertising hoarding has just been removed? It’s preserved very well, the missing chunks don’t lose much

Congratulations to Katie Manley for successfully passing her PhD viva subject to minor corrections. Many thanks to Hardev Pandha and Leo Alexandre for examining.

Congratulations to Ricardo Ackbersingh for getting a best oral presention and best student abstract prize at Australasian Genomic Technologies Association conference 2026 in Sydney. Amazing stuff.

If one paper out today wasn't enough, from the PanProstate Cancer Group (panprostate.org), we've got another outstanding paper. This one looking at biallelic epigenetic inactivation in the first PPCG data set. Great work. Lucky to be involved. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

We are delighted to once again be hosting our Symposium today, which will feature cancer research from across the Norwich Research Park! We shall be sharing updates throughout the day- don't forget to tag us or use #NCRNSymposium2026!

An excellent keynote talk by Ruman Rahman from Nottingham University. Then poster prizes and the reception, and with that we're done. Great stuff.

And the final talk from Norwich of the symposium is "The role of the gut microbiome, metabolic changes and the immune system in the progression of MGUS to multiple myeloma" – Charlotte Hellmich #NCRNSymposium2026

Next up is Dimitra Lamprinaki discussing "Strain- and sex-specific antibody responses to Fusobacterium nucleatum ssp. animalis in colorectal cancer: evidence from the Norwich Bowel Cancer Screening cohort"

The last session starts with a talk titled "Spatiotemporal Metabolic Drivers of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Initiation and Progression"

#NCRNSymposium2026 lunch and poster session. Probably the best part of the day. great energy.

Session 2 had two talks and an amazing set of lightning talks. No photos, as I was chairing. #NCRNSymposium2026

The Norwich Cancer Research Network 2026 is here. We kick off with Jayna Mistry presenting a talk titled "Microenvironment remodelling by clonal haematopoiesis promotes transformation to haematological malignancy" #NCRNSymposium2026

The final talk of the first session of the NCRN symposium is by Advait Aithal titled "From Photoactivation to Photodegradation: LASSO, a Long-Wavelength Platform for Light Activated Selective Switch-Off of Proteins" #NCRNSymposium2026

The next talk is "Targeting cancer by inhibiting the protein interactions in RNA polymerase" by Suzanne van Wier #NCRNSymposium2026

Next up we have Emma Bull discussing how MYC activates a dark genome lncRNA to drive metastasis in paediatric bone sarcoma. #NCRNSymposium2026

£6.3bn really is a huge gap for unis to fill on research each year It's sometimes said that's what QR is for, but QR is part of the calculation: without it the gap would be close to £9bn The biggest way that gap is filled is international student fees (yellow bar), but we all know how that's going

Congratulations to Dr Anna Russell who successfully got through her viva today with a thesis titled "Investigating the molecular mechanisms of action of anaerobic bacteria on prostate cancer development and progression". Super quick time. Thanks to examiners Gwyn Williams and Ben Evans.

I really don't understand how Argentina gets away with pushing players in the back the whole time. And the gathering round the ref ...

Next we have Jade Manning, who won the runners-up prize for best talk at the Microbial Genomics ECR Symposium @Norwich. The talk was titled "Investigating the Mechanism of Action of Anaerobic Bacteria in the Pathogenesis of Aggressive Prostate Cancer". Congratulations.

woof ≈80% of assignments this summer term have essentially been just raw chatgpt/claude output, including assignments that required designing stuff in illustrator/affinity/canva. The battle is lost for asynchronous online courses.

Amazing. Wait for the goalie surprise
