BCI in The Times Pancreatic Cancer Supplement
|
The Times Raconteur supplement on Pancreatic Cancer, 3 Nov 11 |
BCI researchers featured heavily in the Pancreatic Cancer supplement which accompanied Thursday's edition of The Times (3 November 2011). The supplement, commissioned by the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund (PCRF), featured several of our PhD students (Sabari Vallath, Kate Lines, Constantia Pantelidou, Stacey Coleman), as well as an interview with Professor Nick Lemoine.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all cancers – just 3% of those diagnosed survive for five years. Important research continues in the BCI thanks to support from charities such as Cancer Research UK and the PCRF, who fund many of our scientists. Related links:

Two of the BCI’s senior academics are giving oral presentations in the Cancer Gene and Virotherapy session on Saturday 29 October.
Professor Iain McNeish is presenting:
“Targeting DNA damage repair and paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer using oncolytic adenoviruses”
Dr Yaohe Wang is presenting:
“Enhancement of the antitumour efficacy of E3B-deleted oncolytic adenoviruses by targeting STAT1 which interacts with viral E3 14.7 protein in macrophages’.
The Viral Gene Therapy groups of Iain McNeish, Yaohe Wang and Gunnel Hallden also have 6 poster presentations at the meeting so the BCI is well represented at this meeting.
