Spotlight on... Prostate Cancer UK's research webinar series
‘Spotlight on...’ is our series of research webinars designed to offer you bitesize opportunities to expand your knowledge on specific areas of prostate cancer research.
In each 60-minute session you’ll hear from experts in the field and have the chance to ask questions, share ideas and network. We’ll run a series of weekly seminars focussed on a specific theme.
If you are an early career researcher working on a Prostate Cancer UK funded project and would like the opportunity to chair a ‘Spotlight on…’ webinar please contact the Research Team.
Our Summer 2021 series
Spotlight on ... the AR
In this webinar we’ll be shining the spotlight on the androgen receptor. Professor Charlotte Bevan from Imperial College London will be joined by Professor Iain McEwan from the University of Aberdeen to introduce the androgen receptor.
Date: Wednesday 9 June
Time: 3-4pm (BST)
Spotlight on ... epigenetics
Join us as we shine the Spotlight on…epigenetics. In this webinar we will be joined by, Dr Jennie Jeyapalan from University of Nottingham and Professor Frank Claessens from KU Leuven in Belgium to discuss AR and epigenetic regulation of target genes.
Date: Thursday 17 June

Spotlight on ... non-coding RNAs
This week we’ll shine the Spotlight on the AR and non-coding RNAs. We will be joined by Dr Leena Latonen, University of Eastern Finland and Dr Claire Fletcher, Imperial College London. In this session we’ll discuss how non-coding RNAs fine tune gene regulation and how they cross-talk with AR.
Date: Tuesday 22 June
Time: 3-4pm (BST)
Spotlight on ... transcriptional regulation
This week we’re shining the Spotlight on…transcriptional regulation. We’ll be joined by Professor Wilbert Zwart from Netherlands Cancer Institute and Dr Donald McDonnell from Duke University, to discuss how the AR regulates transcription and how this can be exploited for therapy.
Date: Monday 28 June
Time: 1-2pm (BST)

Spotlight on ... AR coregulators
This week we’ll be joined by Dr Greg Brooke, University of Essex and Dr Damien Leach, Imperial College London as we shine the Spotlight on…AR coregulators. We’ll discuss how co-regulators can be exploited as novel therapies and to reduce treatment resistance.
Date: Tuesday 6 July

Spotlight on … AR variants
This week we'll shine the Spotlight on…AR variants. We’ll be joined by Dr Luke Gaughan from Newcastle University and Dr Adam Sharp from The Institute of Cancer Research as we discuss new technologies in cell lines. We’ll discuss the different splice variants of the AR and what these mean to androgen deprivation therapy.
Date: Thursday 22 July
Time: 3-4pm (BST)
Spotlight on...treatment resistance
This week we'll shine the Spotlight on…treatment resistance. We’ll be joined by Professor Scott Dehm from University of Minnesota and Dr Amina Zoubeidi from Vancouver Prostate Centre as we discuss treatment resistance.

Spotlight on … The Research Team: From contract to impact
To wrap up this series members of the Research Team will take you from contract to impact. Join Reena, Hayley and Fliss to find out more about what happens during the lifetime of your grant and beyond. We’ll tell you how we manage your grant, how we can help disseminate your research as well as services you can tap into.
Date: Thursday 5 August
Time: 3-4pm (BST)
