The COSMIC team had a fantastic final day at #ESMO24 and we're sad to be leaving! 💡 We’ve enjoyed engaging with many potential collaborators and insightful talks. 🧬 Particular highlights from today were discussions on the importance of improved sequencing depth and larger patient cohorts, to deepen our insights into non-coding DNA as an emerging tool for prognosis. #ESMO24 #PrecisionOncology #MedicalOncology #CancerResearch #Genomics #noncodingDNA
COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer)
Research
The world's largest and most comprehensive resource for exploring the impact of somatic mutations in human cancer.
About us
Based at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, COSMIC is the world's most comprehensive resource for exploring the impact of somatic mutations in human cancer. All cancers arise as a result of the acquisition of mutations, many of which ultimately confer a growth advantage upon the cells in which they have occurred. There is a vast amount of information available in the published scientific literature about these changes. COSMIC provides researchers access to the world's knowledge of somatic mutations in human cancer in a single resource.

Join us in congratulating Sir Mike Stratton and Sam Behjati on this incredible recognition of their contribution to the field of cancer research 🎉
Congratulations to Sir Mike Stratton and Sam Behjati, who have been awarded by the The Royal Society for their pioneering work in cancer research 🔬 ✨ They are among 25 Medal and Award winners recognised this year by the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences. Mike received the Royal Medal (Biological) for his work in cancer genomics, including discovering cancer-causing genes and mutational signatures, and establishing the Cancer Genome Project. His research also identified the BRCA2 gene and sequenced the first complete cancer genome. Sam received the Francis Crick Medal and Lecture for his discoveries on the developmental origins of childhood cancers. As a practising consultant at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, he ensures that every child with a solid tumour in his region receives whole-genome sequencing, which allows for more precise diagnoses and targeted therapies. ⬇ Read the full story https://lnkd.in/e3hmRxmj
