OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Cancer progression is an evolutionary process involving the sequential occurrence of key genetic alterations known as drivers. In prostate cancer, progression to metastasis requires multiple driver alterations, although the type and order of these invariably differs between patients. In this talk we describe how the union of multiple genomic analyses reveals that divergent evolution, mediated by drivers that induce dysregulation of androgen receptor DNA binding, results in two distinct subtypes. Our findings unify many previous molecular groupings in prostate cancer and provide a powerful new paradigm for cancer stratification.
