Such an exciting paper! Congratulations @eiwerner, Gisela Otten and all the team!



@nbierne Michael Metzger @halvorz Harmit S. Malik Andrew Kern @RobLanfear TCG, Cambridge Probably breaking every rule in the Twitter etiquette book by responding to a year old thread BUT we recently had a look at some other pertinent transmissible cancer candidates wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/6-219. Still no clonal transmission! 🐟🐢

(1) Meet Grand Prize winner Dr. Lin Meng (PhD Iowa State University, now Berkeley Lab) & category winners Anete Romanauska (PhD+postdoc Max Perutz Labs Vienna), Adrian Baez-Ortega (PhD Cambridge University, now Wellcome Sanger Institute) and Wenfei Sun (Dr sc ETH Zürich, now Stanford University) eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #PhDlife


Huge congratulations to TCG, Cambridge PhD graduate Adrian Baez-Ortega who is winner of one of the 2021 Science & SciLifeLab Prize prizes for his essay entitled “As cancer grows old”. His essay is published in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc….



We were really happy to have the opportunity to highlight the exciting work of Maurine Hammel and @nbierne published in Molecular Ecology. Such intriguing results about transmissible cancers in mussels!

Thanks Aylwyn Scally for highlighting our post. There will be dogs, devils, scRNAseq, field work, cancer genomes, tumour immunology and more! Closing date 25 February.


It's not too late to apply for PhD and postdoc positions at the Transmissible Cancer Group in Cambridge jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/32669/. Contact Elizabeth Murchison [email protected] for more information. Closing date 25 February!


New Transmissible Cancer Group paper published in Vet Record! Male dogs are four times more likely to develop the rare oronasal form of CTVT than females, due to behaviour and tumour accessibility differences between the sexes. Cambridge Vet School doi.org/10.1002/vetr.1…
