Shouldn't it be a red line on a Lateral Flow test? If it's a blue line, Moon, I'd be really worried... you may be pregnant!

The CEPI tweet about developing a universal Covid vaccine (and SCLP as a contender) was originally tweeted in March 2021. However, it has just been retweeted, by CEPI, this afternoon. Could the timing be significant, I wonder...?

Nice find WTP - and a timely reminder that SCLP is so much more than Covidity...

Hi Cleaner. It looks to me like aggregated content designed as clickbait to sell their report. In other words, they slot SCLP numbers into a templated 'framework' article about debt, but next week, it could just as easily be VAL, SAR etc...I think the giveaway is that they do not mention SVIB, SCOV, Covid, Covidity, Moditope, avidimab, glycans etc anywhere on the piece, nor is there any mention of SCLP personnel, Redmile, Vulpes whatsoever. It's lazy journalism in many ways, but linking SCLP in a headline about debt draws people in, nonetheless and they may get a few sign-ups and even sell a 'report' or two...AIMHO.

In a speech at the Francis Crick Institute in London, the Health Secretary will announce an eight-week “call for evidence” to inform a 10-year plan, to be published later in the year.

“Let this be the day where we declare a national war on cancer,” he is expected to tell scientists, promising a plan which “learns the lessons from the pandemic” and applies the advances to cancer care.

The Health Secretary is expected to promise “a far-reaching look at how we want cancer care to be in 2032” encompassing prevention, diagnosis, treatment and vaccines.

Officials are working on plans to intensify research on mRNA vaccines for cancer, bringing together learning gained through the pandemic, with expertise in cancer immunotherapy treatment

Cancer vaccines to be at heart of 'national war' against deadly illness.
Sajid Javid says jabs to potentially cure the disease over the next decade will make Britain a 'world leader' in treatment

Vaccines to treat and potentially cure cancer will be at the heart of a “national war” on the disease over the next decade, Sajid Javid will say on Thursday.

The Health Secretary will set out a vision to make Britain a “world leader” in cancer care, amid warnings of some 50,000 missing diagnoses since the start of the pandemic.

Mr Javid will promise a 10-year Cancer Plan for England, which will use new technologies - including mRNA vaccines - to find new ways to boost survival rates.

Scientists who pioneered the jabs to protect people against Covid are examining whether similar methods can be used to train the immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells, preventing regrowth.

JVT stepping down as deputy CMO in March. Return to University of Nottingham on the cards. How about a non-exec director role at Scancell too? I think Lindy should give him a call...!

'Internal fund realignment'... might this be Zakari related somehow?

Interesting in that they appear to be using PharmaJet so any further validation of SCLP's chosen delivery mechanism can only be a good thing. However, they do not have our level of funding and are not listed so you can't buy shares in them even if you wanted to...

And I can't spell. Doh!! Back to bed...

And 'Scancell' is an anagram of 'cancels'!!

Apologies - I clicked the date of the tweet, not the article. It's a new tweet of previous article, but timing certainly appropriate...

Given where 'squid' live, I would expect them to be a little damp...

A landmark moment! Well done Lindy & team.

From The Irish News today:
"To create a universal vaccine, scientists must focus on common characteristics and structures between coronaviruses and then 'exploit' them. One approach being investigated is targeting the core of the virus, not just the trademark spike protein (the way coronaviruses gain entry into a cell, and the target of existing vaccines). Scientists at Nottingham University and the UK company Scancell are developing a universal Covid-19 vaccine which, as well as the surface spikes, targets a protein in the core of the virus which is far less likely to mutate. Human trials are expected to start this year after positive results on mice showed the formula can induce an immune response. "

Hi Violin. No name check for SCLP, but if someone googles 'Jonathan Ball DNA Vaccine', the second result is:

and plenty more references to SCLP on the first page of the results...
