Womb cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer and 4th most common cancer among women in the UK, with over 9000 new cases diagnosed each year, yet many people have not heard of it. To help raise awareness, we’ll be posting more facts throughout September. Watch this space!

Globally, average health + medical research grant funding success rate is 20-30%. In Australia it is just 9-14% for @NHMRC grant schemes. The Australian Government needs to double annual NHMRC investment to provide sector stability and drive economic outcomes from translation

Ovarian cancer ECR research publication prize! Are you: -an ECR who works on ovarian cancer (lab/bioinf/clinical)? -in Australia? -have a publication? -fancy a cool $1000? The Penny Taylor Prize is open - applications close Mon 26th Sept. Apply here: petermac.org/events/penny-t…

Team Womb were out in force to celebrate Emma Crosbie & to hear her give her inaugural lecture…better late than never after her promotion to Prof in 2019! An inspiring supervisor 👏 #wombwarrior Division of Cancer Sciences Manchester Cancer Research Centre UoM Biology, Medicine and Health

Insightful meeting this evening with our endometrial hyperplasia #PPI group and timely given that it is #GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth If you have been diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia and would like to input into our research please do get in touch👇

I feel extremely grateful to everyone participating in genetic studies; identifying genetic risk factors will eventually lead to improved clinical care of psychiatric disorders. Our perspective describes 10 challenges Nature Genetics @zac_gerring Jackson Thorp @QIMRBerghofer
