So proud to say that I passed my PhD viva this week! A huge thank you to my examiners @LabMonteiro and Michael Smutney for making my viva experience a positive one! And of course, my supervisors @AC_Nelson_Lab and @Sascha_Ott for all the support over the years! @MIBTP1

September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. Across the month we’ll be sharing personal stories, going gold in our @CRUKShops, and posting updates on the work we’re doing to help more children and young people live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.

A list of the top 10 research priorities for children’s cancer research has been published after consultation with cancer survivors. We funded the survey with @CCLG_UK and were happy to see many of the priorities listed closely align with our aims. See 👉 ow.ly/II4h50LrQ3J

Felix was diagnosed with #AcuteLymphoblasticLeukaemia in January 2016. He was only 11 years old at the time. He went through more than three years of treatment – 1,184 days to be exact – before he was able to ring the end of treatment bell. Read more: bit.ly/3NcABPH
