We’re delighted to be leading a new project alongside The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust to study responses to cancer immunotherapy. The platform has already received more than £20 million in public and industry investment and will involve thousands of people from across the UK receiving immunotherapy. Find out more about the platform, and hear from Crick and Royal Marsden group leader and consultant oncologist SAMRA TURAJLIC, science and technology secretary Peter Kyle, and Alex Green, who received immunotherapy treatment for melanoma ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ewvkJ-Fq

We are a biomedical discovery institute breaking down barriers between disciplines.
About us
The Crick is a distinctive biomedical research institute. We’re committed to advancing, promoting, and sharing understanding of human health and disease. We do that by attracting talented and ambitious people from all disciplines and backgrounds and giving them the support and freedom they need to succeed. Inside the Crick, you’ll discover scientists working to stretch the very limits of what we know about how life works. Their research holds the key to answering fundamental questions about human health and disease. Our bold and innovative research projects bring together scientists and technicians from all disciplines in the pursuit of discovery without boundaries. With the support of our partners, we’re bridging the gap between discovery and application to help change lives for the better. And through our dynamic structure, we’re able to develop the science leaders of tomorrow. That’s our bold idea, tell us yours. Cover image taken at the Crick by Thomas Angus, Imperial College London.

Researchers from the Crick and the UCL Institute of Neurology have developed DNA molecules that use ‘invisibility cloak’ sequences to selectively target diseased cells in motor neurone disease. The study was led by first author Oscar Wilkins from the Molecular Neurodegeneration Lab https://lnkd.in/eZPARYVq

Researchers at the Crick and UCL have developed a tool to analyse genes linked to the ability of tumours to hide from the immune system. The findings were led by first author Clare Puttick from the Cancer Evolution and Genome Instability Lab led by Charles Swanton, as part of the TRACERx study funded by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) https://lnkd.in/e-XhGPJp
