The Columbia Hospital For Women Research Foundation have awarded Christopher Yau the prize for most impactful paper in 2020 in the field of obstetrical and gynecologic and breast disease. The prize consisted of a $5,000 to a charity of Chris and Ahmed’s choosing and they selected Ovarian Cancer Action who co-funded the original work.
Recently Christopher Yau worked with Ovarian Cancer Action UK to put together a webinar on his research for patients and the public. You can find the video on Youtube: “What is artificial intelligence and what does it mean for cancer research?”.
Our paper “Adipocyte-like signature in ovarian cancer minimal residual disease identifies metabolic vulnerabilities of tumor-initiating cells” with the Oxford Ovarian Cancer Cell Lab has been featured on the cover of JCI Insight. The work used methods developed by former group student Kieran Campbell.
