CCF’s 12th Annual Conference will focus on identifying the top research priorities to accelerate breakthroughs in cholangiocarcinoma research. This initiative is a joint effort between CCF’s International Cholangiocarcinoma Research Network (ICRN) and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST)-Action: Precision BTC-Network, part of the European Network for the Study of Cholangiocarcinoma (ENSCCA). As a rare cancer with limited global research funding, a clear set of research priorities will help optimize the allocation of existing research funds and attract additional funding from diverse sources. Patients and caregivers will actively participate side-by-side with experts in the field, attending sessions and voting on research priorities while also having access to daily patient-focused breakout sessions. Ten Working Groups identify the potential research priorities to discuss and vote on, and this one-pager explains how they are formed and do their work. Register today for the April 9-11 conference: https://lnkd.in/eHXfqYCv

𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 Cancer treatment has long been a challenging field, with researchers continuously seeking innovative methods to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Recently, a significant breakthrough has been made by a multidisciplinary team led by Professors Gigi P.-C. Lo and Kwan T. Chow from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at City University of Hong Kong. Their pioneering research, titled “Inducing Immunogenic Cancer Cell Death through Oxygen-Economized Photodynamic Therapy with Nitric Oxide-Releasing Photosensitizers,” has been published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition (with Impact Factor of 16.6; 2022 Journal Citation Reports, Clarivate, 2023). #CancerResearch #CancerTreatment #ImmunotherapyBreakthrough #PhotodynamicTherapy #NitricOxidePhotosensitizers #BiomedicalInnovation Link: https://lnkd.in/gjJciy_h

Meet ONCOVALUE researcher: Wim van Harten! He is a Senior Research Group Leader at The Netherlands Cancer Institute and Chair of the Working Group on Health Economics at the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI). Wim is excited to also serve as Co-Principal Investigator at The Netherlands Cancer Institute. In this role, he oversees two PhD candidates, concentrating on early-stage and dynamic technology assessment. His passion lies in collaborating with the ONCOVALUE Consortium to effectively mine and organize data, ensuring compliance with regulations. His goal? To provide valuable insights that enhance decision-making in oncology, ultimately improving patient outcomes and resource allocation.

AI significantly impacts spatial biology by enabling the analysis of large-scale spatial omics data, as seen through this amazing research initiative- MOSAIC Owkin. This approach helps in understanding complex biology and ensuring precise treatment for patients by analyzing multimodal data from thousands of patients across various cancer indications. There's a lot(!) going on under the hood of cancers, better understanding of the mechanics will = better treatment!
