Several Oxford Cancer researchers present at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.

The AACR Annual Meeting is one of the largest events in the cancer conference calendar and draws global audiences of scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates.

Oxford’s cancer research is represented by twelve presenters at this year’s meeting.

Talks

  • Dr Andrew Erickson (Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences) presents “The spatial landscape of clonal somatic mutations in benign and malignant tissue” in the session on Cancer Genomics and Biology (Mini symposium).
  • Dr Véronique Lafleur (Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and Target Discovery Institute) presents “Bi-directional crosstalk between the HIF and AHR transcription factors in clear cell kidney cancer” in the session on Transcription Factors in Cancer (Mini symposium)
  • Dr Eileen Parkes (Department of Oncology) presents “STING mediated inflammatory signaling in BRCA-mutant breast cancer” in the session on Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Advances in organ site research).
  • Professor Yang Shi (Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research) presents “Epigenetic regulation in immuno-oncology” in the session on Epigenetics, Chromatin Architecture, and Gene Regulation: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities in Cancer (Major symposium)
