I'm on the UEA (@uniofeastanglia) team for the British Cycling Challenge 100 Sportive this Sunday too, but I can reliably say that I will be going at a considerably slower pace than @Shedimus! https://t.co/kTCw89O8nu

RT @ncloonan: Reanalyzing data doesn't score you academic points, but it is really, really important. My postgrad students found that most #RNAseq conclusions could not be replicated upon reanalysis. I will be talking about this at #UQWinterSchool, but we need to do much better than this. https://t.co/r7I0ZvdMKt

A four‐group urine risk classifier for predicting outcomes in patients with prostate cancer.

Really pleased to announce the publication of our latest bit of research

https://doi.org/10.1111/bju.14811


We have developed a urine test to diagnose aggressive prostate cancer and predict whether patients will require treatment up to five years earlier than standard clinical methods. The experimental new test called ‘PUR’ (Prostate Urine Risk) also identifies men who are up to eight times less likely to need treatment within five years of diagnosis. It is hoped that the breakthrough could help large numbers of men avoid an unnecessary initial biopsy and repeated invasive follow-ups for ‘low risk’ patients on active surveillance.

This work was funded by the Movember Foundation, The Masonic Charitable Foundation, The Bob Champion Cancer Trust, the King family, the Andy Ripley Memorial Fund and the Stephen Hargrave Trust.

We've had quite a bit of press attention:

.@ProstateUK is looking for exciting research proposals investigating the immunology or immunotherapy of prostate cancer (link: https://t.co/h7sQetWI8B) https://t.co/obiu6qIdTL…. Deadline: 12pm 22/07/2019. #prostatecancer #funding #immunology. https://t.co/5kvHlCNAAY

Exciting, looks like we might be getting some press coverage tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled.
