A cancer scientist from the Centre for Cancer Immunology has been recognised for her research that could dramatically improve lymphoma survival.<\/p>\n

In a recent study, funded by Cancer Research UK and published in Cancer Cell, Sean Lim found that a particular combination of antibodies \u2013targeting CD27 and CD20, greatly increased life expectancy in mice with cancer.\u00a0 The study found that the antibody combination increased the number and ability of a specific type of immune cells, called myeloid cells, to destroy cancer cells.\u00a0 This combination is now being tested in a human trial (RiVa).<\/p>\n

The research has led to Dr Lim to be awarded The Roger Griffin Prize for Cancer Drug Discovery.<\/p>\n

The award is given by The British Association for Cancer Research (BACR) and is an annual prize of \u00a31000 awarded to an early career researcher who publishes the best paper on cancer drug discovery as judged by the BACR Executive Committee. Dr Lim will also have the opportunity to present an oral paper at the annual NCRI Cancer Conference later in the year.<\/p>\n

Dr Lim said: \u201cI am very honoured to be awarded this prize and look forward to presenting the work at the NCRI Conference.\u00a0 The prize money will go towards our research.\u00a0 We intend to continue building on these exciting findings to uncover the full potential of our discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very exciting to see that this drug combination has a dramatic impact on survival of mice with lymphoma, as improvements in treatment are urgently needed. The next stage will be to see if what we\u2019ve discovered can be replicated in patients.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
