| Dear Voornaam
Could you host a summer student and help make a career in research more accessible?
In2scienceUK is calling for cancer research labs in London and Cambridge to host undergrads for its In2research programme.
Hosts will supervise participants for an 8-week, paid summer research placement, providing them with experiences and confidence to access postgraduate research degrees and careers.
Submit a proposal by 27 January to be a placement host and help promote social mobility and build a more inclusive research community. |

FUNDING BOOST FOR EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS FOR CANCER Funding for the Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC) network has been renewed for the next 5 years, following a successful review of the network.
ECMCs are funded by Cancer Research UK, together with the health departments of the devolved nations and new partner the Little Princess Trust, to deliver cutting-edge experimental treatments for children, young people and adults. Since the ECMC network was established, 30,000 patients have taken part in 2,100 early-phase trials of promising new cancer treatments.
The paediatric network will receive a boost in funding to expand research and tackle the unique challenges presented by cancers in children and young people. |

SERENA NIK-ZAINAL'S DNA GRAFFITI RESEARCH Congratulations to Serena Nik-Zainal, who gave the Royal Societys Francis Crick Prize Lecture 2022 earlier this month.
Serena was awarded the Francis Crick Medal for her contributions to understanding mutation patterns in human cancer, which is now being applied to cancer therapy.
In her lecture, Serena explained that just like recognising Banksys graffiti style, we can identify signatures in cancer. Every cancer has unique biological abnormalities, which has immense potential for application in precision medicine. |

UPCOMING CANCER INNOVATION EVENT AT THE CRICK Join us at the Francis Crick Institute on 14 February for a panel discussion on how cancer innovation is transforming treatment and care featuring Anguraj Sadanandam (Director of the Centre for Global Oncology at ICR), Mark OConnor (AstraZeneca Chief Scientist, Oncology R&D) and Tony Hickson (Chief Business Officer for Cancer Research UK and Cancer Research Horizons).
The event, developed in collaboration with our innovation engine, Cancer Research Horizons, and the Crick Science Entrepreneur Network, is a great opportunity to learn from and connect with leaders in cancer research and to discover up and coming start-ups in the field of innovation. |
