2025 is drawing to a close and what a year it’s been! 🌟 From growing our community to advancing research and transforming clinical practice, it’s been a year full of progress. Here are some of our 2025 highlights. 👇 Season's greetings to all our members, partners and supporters!

Brian Huntly and I are looking to recruit a postdoc to investigate a promising novel therapeutic target in B-ALL @scicambridge.bsky.social. This new CRUK-funded project will involve collaboration with Prof Sir Steve Jackson's group @cruk-ci.bsky.social and the CRUK Functional Genomics centre.

Delighted to help @crukpolicy.bsky.social promote their #BackTheBreakthroughs campaign in Parliament today. Wide-ranging discussions, including on crucial work to reduce regulatory hurdles for trials, improve access to new therapeutics and support clinical academics.

A decade of bold ideas, brilliant minds & real impact. 💡 Our John Goldman Fellowships are driving progress in leukaemia research, from identifying new drug targets to repurposing existing medicines. Read more: www.leukaemiauk.org.uk/stories/a-de...

A decade of progress and impact - Leukaemia UK

This October marks ten years since Leukaemia UK launched its John Goldman Fellowship (JGF) programme. In this blog, and the next, we’ll explore its impact and successes.

On my way back from a fabulous day of science and catching up with friends and colleagues at the UKALL Research Network update day. Great to see so much progress. 👍

It is with great sadness that the University shares the news of the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon, founder of the @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social Read our tribute to the visionary Nobel Laureate and watch an interview from 2012, just after he won: https://bit.ly/4mM8o3r

Great to host our new @stcatharines.bsky.social medics before their first college dinner 🩺😷🚑🩻⚕️

Thank you @leukaemiauk.bsky.social for the invitation to #WCD2025. 😋 It was great to share some of our work and humbling to hear the story of 4 year old Billie the Brave. Congrats on raising so much in one evening for life changing leukaemia research! ❤️

Thanks to @leukaemiauk.bsky.social for the opportunity to contribute to this amazing session. So important to link patient experiences with our science and translational research

An incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking Q&A session with some of our John Goldman Fellows and Leukaemia UK Community Champions. ✨ @simonrichardson.bsky.social @scicambridge.bsky.social @manchester.ac.uk @uom-dcs.bsky.social

💙 Between now & the UCAS application deadline on 15 Oct, it’s worth checking if you're eligible for the Finlay Family Bursary, which covers all tuition fees & a living allowance for a St Catharine’s student from Scotland for all 3 or 4 years of an undergraduate degree: shorturl.at/K0RuE 3/3

The Finlay Family Bursary for Scottish undergraduates

We are proud to offer this bursary to encourage Scottish students to apply for, and take up, the offer of an undergraduate place at St Catharine’s – an opportunity which would normally involve greater financial cost than attending a Scottish university.

I wrote a new piece on how much progress has been made in treating childhood leukemia. The answer is: quite a lot! Before the 1970s, fewer than 10% of children diagnosed survived 5 years after diagnosis. Now most are cured and around 85% survive that long. ourworldindata.org/childhood-le...
