Why do some animals catch cancer?
Unravelling the genomics of infectious cancer
One childhood cancer, one thousand children: landmark genomic study delivers first discoveries
Tumours from 1000 children with kidney cancer have been sequenced, thanks to the Little Princess Trust and researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. The Little Princess Trust ‘Knowledge Bank’ is the largest comprehensive genomics resource for any childhood solid tumour, and is already being used for research to understand childhood cancers.
Mosaic’s becoming
The Sanger Institute is committed to innovative science at scale, but we need partners and investors to transfer this science into the clinic. Mariya Chhatriwala, Business Development Manager, gives us her insights on how the Sanger Institute’s fifth spin-out company came to be.
Searching for the roots of childhood cancer
Meet Thomas Oliver, trainee pathologist and PhD student, working on the origins of childhood cancers.
LiFTS: Li Fraumeni over Time Study – tracking changes in LFS
March 20th is Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) Awareness Day. People will be on social media, wearing blue, #WearBlueForLFS, to raise awareness of this little-known cancer syndrome
Spinning out the science
Much of our research has the potential to positively impact people's lives around the world. And who better to deliver this than the scientists themselves?
