Last week, DiCE virtually attended the #AMMF2025, organised by @charityammf.bsky.social. The conference had a variety of expert sessions on progress in personalised medicine, novel research in the #CCA field, & updates on CCA treatment from within the 🇬🇧, 🇪🇺, and 🌎.

That’s a wrap on #AMMF2025!
Thank you to everyone – speakers, presenters, attendees, and partners – for three powerful days of insight, science, and connection in #cholangiocarcinoma.
Winner of the Fast Science Award at #AMMF2025: Ghada Nouairia of Karolinska Institutet, Sweden!
Her work: Genome-scale DNA methylation profiling of biliary tract cancers. A brilliant contribution to advancing BTC research.
Congratulations to Prof John Bridgewater on winning the Outstanding Poster Award at #AMMF2025!
His poster: A Phase 3, randomised study of adjuvant rilvegostomig plus chemotherapy in resected biliary tract cancer: ARTEMIDE-Biliary01
“I’ve been trying to find different treatments for those who can’t avail targeted therapy” – Prof. Padma-Sheela Jayaraman. Her team shows palbociclib + niclosamide work synergistically, reduce CCA cell viability, and shrink tumours in preclinical models. @uniofnottingham.bsky.social

explored how 'stretch' signals might shape early iCCA development — affecting gene activity, cell structure, and signalling.

“Our findings offer valuable insights for identifying key biomarkers, drug and vaccine targets.” Miss Waraporn Taweesin of Khon Kaen University, Thailand shared transcriptomic data from Opisthorchis viverrini across life stages.

Dr Ghada Nouairia presented research on genome-scale DNA methylation profiling in biliary tract cancers. With support from a new CCA Foundation grant, she’s now moving into validation — watch this space for future results.

“Trying to improve CUPiD”
AMMF-funded work by Dr Alicia-Marie Conway is adapting the CUPiD platform—originally developed for cancers of unknown primary—to detect confirmed CCA cases. A promising step toward more accurate, non-invasive diagnosis.
