| | | | Congratulations to Rebecca Fitzgerald, Bart Vanhaesebroeck, and Frances Balkwill who are among the newly elected Fellows of The Royal Society, in recognition of their significant contributions to cancer research throughout their careers.
Rebecca has led groundbreaking investigations into the early detection of oesophageal cancer. She received the Don Listwin Award in 2021.
Bart received this year’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship Horizons Explorer Recognition Award for advancing the understanding of PI 3-kinase enzymes’ role in cancer, inflammation, and immunity.
Frances is a pioneer of research into cancer-related inflammation and the tumour microenvironment. She’s also a leader in science public engagement, setting up the Centre of the Cell and advising on the Science Museum’s 2021 exhibition, Cancer Revolution. |

| | | | | At our Cancer Prevention Research Conference in Boston this June, Julio Aguirre-Ghiso (Albert Einstein College of Medicine) will be chairing a panel session on very early dissemination.
Join our panellists Suzanne Marie Ponik (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Hege Elisabeth Giercksky Russnes (University of Oslo) to explore the emerging biological understanding of very early dissemination and its implications on cancer prevention.
Follow #PrevConf24 on our social channels for more conference updates. | | |
| | | | | | | You have one week left to share your research with our scientific committee for the chance to present your work or give a short talk at our Brain Tumour Conference.
Submit an abstract under one of the conference themes, including brain metastasis, spatial sequencing, 3D genomes and clinical trials, to gain valuable feedback from peers around the world.
The submission deadline is 24 May. | | |

| | #CRUKFunded: HPV vaccine helps to reduce health inequalities |
| Peter Sasieni and colleagues have shown that the UK national HPV vaccination programme is associated with a reduction in cervical disease in all socioeconomic groups.
The study analysed cancer data from NHS England for vaccinated and unvaccinated women aged 20-64 years to examine if the already high HPV vaccination effectiveness continued in an additional year of follow-up.
The results published in the BMJ demonstrated a decrease of cervical cancer and grade 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia across all deprivation groups, especially in women offered routine vaccination.
This shows that well executed public health interventions can both improve health and reduce health inequalities. |

| | | | | | | The NC3Rs is hosting an interactive online workshop to instruct researchers on using the free Experimental Design Assistant (EDA) software.
Join them on May 23 from 9-11 am for a live demonstration of the EDA to find out how it can help you design robust in vivo experiments that are more likely to give reproducible results.
You will also have the chance to ask questions and get personalised feedback as you design your own experiment. | | |
