Really loved @10xgenomics.bsky.social session @theaacr.bsky.social #AACR25 #SpotlightPresentation by Jingxian Liu on Tumour Evolution & Clonal detection using Visium spatial tech.

Can't wait to set up some collaborative conversations with the Ding Lab @washumedicine.bsky.social!

@qmbci.bsky.social

Brilliant session focused entirely on spatial multiomics @theaacr.bsky.social #AUA25

Well said @tanevski.bsky.social "Cancer is a spatial disease-spatialomics is the future of cancer science"!

Wonderful composite spatial data from Linghua Wang @mdanderson.bsky.social

Really enjoyed this deep dive into intratumoural immune archetypes from Matt Krummel
#AACR25 @TheAACR.bsky.social

Loved this video on T Cell vs Dendritic Cell interacting

Really enjoyed @mirjana-efremova.bsky.social talk on phenotypic plasticity in #ColorectalCancer

Super clear explanation of role of key genes ( #LRIG1 etc) in cell switch

2. Nice data. One again show outcomes from #prostatecancer. But avg. age 75 in HIFU cohort and 50% had Gleason 6. Overtreatment common - albeit with less morbid Rx. Confirm need for RCTs @londonprostate1.bsky.social @ip-london.bsky.social @euplatinum.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @lambalastair.bsky.social

@danberney.bsky.social

V cool to be starting first proper day @QMBCI.bsky.social Charterhouse Sq! Thanks to Francesca C & Nitzan Rosenfeld for taking me on as Group Leader in Centre for Cancer Evolution🧬. And to Guys Urology for making it work🙏

Looking forward to rebuilding #SPACE_Study team here - recruiting soon!

Agreed. If I did it again I'd put one of the needles hitting with TRUS. Was quite a protracted process getting article over the line (made that figure 2yrs agoo) - we had to keep changing tables & text each time another trial came out! You could perhaps argue that figure presents historical view 🤓

Just out in @bmj.com, our "Uncertainties in Practice" article on #LATP vs #TRUS

We highlight evidence so far, discordance between recommendations (@UroWeb.bsky.social vs @NIHR.bsky.social vs #AUA) & need for nuance (!)

Not long now until #TranslateTrial...

Another angle! Great discussion!

Really useful 2 days #UR-UK in Bristol. Meeting of 32 research-active UK urologists

ToR: networking to identify areas for game-changing research in Uro-oncology

Grateful for support from TUF, J&J, Astellas & Medac

Will be fascinating to see organic development of this group over next few years.

Really looking forward to two days brainstorming on urological research at inaugural #UR-UK meeting in Bristol with @jonathananing.bsky.social, @mralexlaird.bsky.social, @tomjmitchell.bsky.social, @maxinegbtran.bsky.social et al.

@BAUSurology.bsky.social

Thanks @TUF.bsky.social for support!

I had an emotional day at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences celebrating the life and achievements of Prof Val Macaulay.

Val was a #prostatecancer researcher like no other, passionate, caring, dedicated and …stubborn 🤓

Honoured to pay our respects on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK.

Great quote from the lovely Selena Kim, former PhD student of Prof Val Macaulay

"Val taught me how to be a logical but creative scientist...and the importance of humility and compassion in how we work"

Val Macaulay symposium Agenda

Vals collaborators

Moving to attend memorial symposium for our recently departed friend & colleague Prof Val Macaulay

Amazing career in #IGF-1 signalling & #ProstateCancer

Perhaps even more significantly in supervising 30+ PhDs & widely known for her quiet empathy & compassion, alongside scientific sharpness & drive

Belated post to thank @BAUSurology.bsky.social Oncology Section for excellent meeting in Nottingham #BAUSOncology2024. Cutting edge talks & stimulating conversation!

Think we're on the cusp of something new & exciting with upcoming #UR-UK (Uro-oncology Research UK) inaugural meeting...

Current vacancies Our current job opportunities.

Advert for our next #KidneyStone Senior Fellow @ Guys Urology - start date October 2025. Excellent opportunity with operating 5 days per week; stepping stone to independent practice; learn PCNL access etc.
