A breakthrough moment in brain infections.
Faced with a mystery infection, Judith Breuer sequenced a biopsy sample—and identified a pathogen never before linked to brain infections. Find out more. #NanoporeConf

Why wait weeks for a diagnosis?
Danny Miller discusses the future potential of Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and how clinicians could get actionable results within hours—not days or weeks. No need to batch samples. Same-day sequencing, same-day answers. #NanoporeConf

In the studio, Matt Loose shares how: “Surgeons were literally knocking, saying I’ve got a patient today. Once people see what’s possible, they start to believe it — and get excited.” when talking about his new CNS tumour profiling method.

Knowledge is power. In the studio, Matt Loose shared insights on rapid CNS profiling — and how one participant told him: “Even if the answer isn’t what you want, it’s better than not knowing at all.”

Great news about a new test that reduces diagnosis time for certain types of brain tumour. This highlights the importance of continued research to improve earlier diagnosis and faster detection for the less survivable cancers.

An ultra-rapid method of genetically diagnosing brain tumours has been developed, cutting the classification time from 6-8 weeks, to as little as two hours. This could remove uncertainty those face waiting weeks for their diagnosis and prognosis. Read more:bit.ly/43EbUXh

Proud to support #ShineALight for Brain Tumour Awareness Month & @braintumourrsch - one in three of us know someone with a brain tumour (I lost a great mate, Miles, to glioblastoma recently) yet only 1% of the UK’s cancer research spend goes into them.
This must change.

Congrats to @SjsmithStuart and Dr Simon Paine for winning the #NIHAwards Innovation award for work on bringing @nanopore sequencing into the clinic for rapid brain tumour diagnosis.

Sadly a similar experience already occurs for many brain tumour patients. Radical change needed as the number of patients across all cancers needing these tests increases rapidly

Great to see this review out from @simonpdeacon @SjsmithStuart and Simon Paine from @nottmhospitals on @nanopore potential in diagnostic pathology. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jumt6FKYG3M… This link is free for 50 days apparently!

@mattloose @nottmhospitals Will work best if rapid / real time, must examine genetics and epigenetics ; and should be integrated to the person with a brain tumour’s care by their treating team/MDT in the local setting. We all need to adapt to the new reality.

It's very good to see this report out and the transformations that are needed. The report references future technologies being trialled in @nottmhospitals - we now have a preprint out that describes this work in more detail - medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The @TJBCMission report released today reveals a lack of critical DNA testing in the UK. We believe these tests are the key to unlocking personalised treatments or trials for patients today and will help transform future care. tessajowellbraincancermission.org/closing-the-ga…

@mattloose @nottmhospitals Absolutely Matt- rapid brain tumour sequencing, crucial for diagnosis and finally beginning to inform treatment decisions
