  • Biology Powerhouse Raises Railway Alarm
    NEWS IN FOCUS to enrol all participants by 2018. Certain factors make researchers optimis- tic that the British study will succeed where the US one failed. One is the National Health Service, which provides care for almost all pregnant women and their children in the United Kingdom, and so offers a centralized means of recruiting, tracing and collecting medical information on study participants. In the United States, by contrast, medical care is provided by a patchwork of differ- ent providers. “I think that most researchers in the US recognize that our way of doing population-based research here is simply different from the way things can be done in the UK and in Europe, and it will almost always be more expensive here,” says Mark Klebanoff, a paediatric epidemiologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Colum- bus, Ohio, who was involved in early dis- cussions about the US study. The Francis Crick Institute sits at the nexus of three central London railway hubs. At one stage, US researchers had planned to knock on doors of random houses looking URBAN SCIENCE for women to enrol before they were even pregnant. “It became obvious that that wasn’t going to be a winning formula,” says Philip Pizzo, a paediatrician at Stanford University Biology powerhouse in Palo Alto, California, who co-chaired the working group that concluded that the National Children’s Study was not feasible. raises railway alarm “The very notion that someone was going to show up on your doorstep as a representa- tive from a govern­ment-funded study and Central London’s Francis Crick Institute fears that proposed say ‘Are you thinking of getting pregnant?’ train line will disrupt delicate science experiments.

    ACADEMIC HEALTH SCIENCE CENTRES SPECIFIC THEME / WORK PROGRAMME 1. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED ACADEMIC HEALTH SCIENCE CENTRE (AHSC) Name of the English NHS Provider/University Partnership: Cambridge University Health Partners 2. THEME / WORK PROGRAMME 2.1 Name of the theme/work programme. Theme 1: Development of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC) 2.2 Aims and objective of the theme/work programme. Since 1999 CUHFT, UoC and the MRC have been jointly committed to a strategy of expansion and development of their shared site as the CBC. The campus has doubled in size from 70 acres in 2006 to 140 acres today, with options to extend by a further 17 acres by 2040. The existing site provides a remarkable environment, largely because of the wide range of occupants spanning service, education, research and innovation interests. These include: (1) NHS : CUHFT (Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie Maternity Hospital), selected services of CPFT, NHS Blood and Transplant, and a base for the East Anglian Ambulance Services Trust; (2) University of Cambridge: School of Clinical Medicine with its 12 departments and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, the Wellcome Trust-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science, the Institute for Public Health and the Wellcome Trust Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (3) Medical Research Council: the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, the Mitochondrial Biology Unit and the Biostatistics Unit (4) Pharmaceutical companies: GlaxoSmithKline Clinical Research Unit Cambridge, AstraZeneca (from 2016) (5) Multiprofessional Education; the Deakin Centre, providing a range of high quality community services combined with excellent education and training provision; (6) within a five minute walk is the Strangeways Research Laboratory, home to the University’s Centre for Genetic Epidemiology and the Public Health Genomics Foundation.

Somatic mutations in TP53 are associated with the development of anaplasia and with poorer survival, particularly in advanced-stage disease. Early identification of DAWT harboring TP53 abnormalities could improve risk stratification of initial therapy and monitoring for recurrence. METHODS: Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) was used to evaluate 21 samples from 4 patients with DAWT. For each patient, we assessed TP53 status in frozen tumor, matched germline DNA, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from plasma, serum, and urine collected throughout treatment. RESULTS:MutantTP53 was detectable in ctDNA from plasma and serum in all patients. We did not detect variant TP53 in the same volume (200 μl) of urine.
