Probably the most comprehensive (and official) article on the topic:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/kate-bingham-appointed-chair-of-uk-vaccine-taskforce

Would this explain the the strong bias towards the Oxford University project?

Well well well....

Mmm...well now, assuming I have the right Kate Bingham... guess where she studied?

Typo - Matt Hankok even!!!

I wonder how many of the Oxford consortium and Astra Zeneca are friends, associates or more importantly donors to the Conservative Party or certain Conservertive MP's? And lets not forget many of them are Oxford alumni are they not?
Also doesnt NIck Hankok(?) have some alliegience to a bio that's involved with vaccine search?

Looks like we've all been in Scancell too long as we're talking about shooting themselves in the foot even before the markets open lol...maybe we're all getting really "really" ahead ourselves... :)

But IMO the more publicity the better! Especially as it will expose Scancells other platforms too.

"...As a minimum that extent of exposure is very helpful to get the company and its technology in the spotlight shed by the right entities."

This + 1.
And why not too...it's very deserving and very very overdue IMO.

Lol DP that would be so Scancell! They seem to have the knack/habit of doing stuff like that.

Personally I don't mind if they don't say anything, this should fly tomorrow on the rumour mill alone IMO.

"...Experts from both the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University are lending their expertise to Scancell Holdings Plc, which develops immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer.

The company is adapting its cancer vaccine to develop a new jab to prevent future infection by the coronavirus, which causes Covid-19.

Scancell is designing a DNA-based vaccine which will be safely delivered into humans, whose bodies will then produce antibodies and T cells to kill the virus."

Definitely worth watching todays briefing with Alok Sharma, the government seem to be putting a lot of there eggs in the Oxford vaccine basket?

Nice one ivy...as per my earlier message, it's always worth throwing in some extra Twitter handles like @skynews, @bloomberg etc when retweeting.
(P.s. those handles may not be correct)

Hi @Dragon101,
I take it that is from the times?

Strange that the Scancell Twitter refers to a times article? I assume the Scancell vaccine work is mentioned in both???
If anyone from Scancell is reading this perhaps they should reference the mirror article too.
And one more thing...they should be using the twitter handles ! i.e. using "@thetimes" in their descriptions, not the written equivelant for max exposure!

Is it the mirror and/or the times?

@Cars - 100% agree with your 18:30 post.
"...If your talking to pharma get technical, if your talking to the market get simple ! All imo". This + 1, which is why I said at the time that I thought the Sky News Interview was too techinical, in the relatively short amount of time Cliff Holloway should have focused on the benefits/why this approach is better/that it based on a existing platform/the cancer background etc and importantly all in a simplified easy to understand manner. It should have been about exciting the audience of the potential of the product...but obviously all IMO.

But as I said at the time a great coup nevertheless...but could have been utilised much better...again IMO.

Sorry, ignore me...I didn't read your post properly!

But yes, Scancells T-cell approach seems to bode well in comparison to the vaccine approches?

Hi Ray, not sure if you spotted that Scancell tweeted/re-tweeted about this?

Apologies if already mentioned.
