The mission of the Oxford Centre for Cancer Early Detection and Prevention (OxCODE) Travel Award is to raise the profile of Oxford’s early detection and precision prevention research by competitively funding the attendance of early career researchers (students and post-doctoral researchers, or equivalent) at major annual cancer prevention and early detection conferences.
After peer review by the OxCODE Operational Group, funds were allocated to the following people:
- Kiana Collins (Cancer Group, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences) attending the Early Detection of Cancer conference with an abstract entitled “Baseline PSA and subsequent prostate cancer risk in English primary care: evidence to inform risk-stratified retesting intervals”
- Arianna De Chiara (Hellner group, Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health) attending the International Papilloma Virus Society conference with an abstract entitled “Targeting persistent high-risk HPV infection with a multi-genotype therapeutic mRNA vaccine”
- Michalis Pistos (Papiez group, Big Data Institute) attending the Early Detection of Cancer conference with an abstract entitled “Early detection of xCT-associated therapy resistance in NSCLC using foundation models”
Congratulations to these awardees and thank you to all applicants for their submissions.
