"We work to accelerate the adoption of new technologies so that we can identify the innovations that are going to have a big impact for our patients and citizens of Wales" - Gareth Healey

And CanSense is doing just that. Their blood tests for simple detection are making diagnoses of bowel cancer quicker and more cost effective. 

We're so proud to be a part of their journey.

Last week, CanSense achieved our Cyber Essentials Plus certification! 🎉 

Cybersecurity is one of the pillars of our company and we are committed to keeping information safe and secure. 

Over the past few months we've been making practical changes to our IT management and working practices to reduce our vulnerability to the most common types of cyber attack.

In addition to improving our practices and security posture, the certification is another step towards being able to use our test to improve early detection of bowel cancer.

Many thanks to Southern IT Networks Ltd and the NCSC's Funder Cyber Essentials Programme ( https://lnkd.in/eNRh2jar) for their support in taking the steps towards certification.

'CanSense is developing a simple blood test to detect bowel cancer at its earliest stages.'

Working alongside Life Sciences Hub Wales to demonstrate how we and other Welsh businesses are reshaping cancer detection is truly rewarding, especially in a nation where 60% of bowel cancer cases are diagnosed at a late stage. 

Together, we're striving to save more lives, improve the diagnostic journey, and provide a more inclusive, less invasive approach to screening.

Clinical trials play such an important role in developing new treatment pathways within the healthcare industry. With continuous advancements happening behind the scenes, it is both empowering and reassuring to witness the ongoing efforts to enhance cancer treatment and overall healthcare standards.

With our own trials forecasted for the near future, we hope to see continuous improvements and discoveries to benefit the cancer diagnostic journey.

“The shame or embarrassment people may feel at the prospect of having their stool tested is not comparable to the feeling of knowing that my mum will never meet my child and become a grandma."  

We recognise that shame and embarrassment play a huge role in the reasons for many cases of late diagnosis when bowel cancer is concerned. 

While we encourage everyone to become familiar with the symptoms and for those over 50 to take advantage of the free FIT test provided to them. CanSense is working on offering a non-invasive, alternative method to traditional bowel cancer screening; aiming to eliminate the associated stigma in hope to increase public uptake by providing a standard-like blood test, a liquid biopsy.

‘The development of a new blood test for the early detection of bowel cancer, which we hope to see incorporated into the Welsh NHS within the next three years’ 

Thrilled to have a mention in the Cancer Research Wales 2024-2029 Research Strategy. 

With sponsored sporting events and hosting lab tours and presentations- it is always an honour to be associated with such a passionate and charitable organisation.  

Additionally, the funding they have provided for academic trials over the past decade has helped launch CanSense on our journey towards early cancer detection.  

CanSense look forward to continuing our relationship with Cancer Research Wales and feel empowered for the future of cancer research – ‘Increasing cancer survival in Wales now and for future generations.’

Meet the team! - Cerys Mitchell (Jenkins)

In 2014, Cerys began her PhD developing the underlying technology for CanSense, and from there she helped set up the business alongside our other 3 co-founders; Dr Adam Bryant, Prof Peter Dunstan, and Prof Dean Harris. Alongside this, Cerys fulfils the role of our Chief Data Scientist.

Before CanSense, Cerys did post-doc research in spectroscopy and machine learning, performed contract research on medical health records for new pharmaceutical technology and led a team developing software for big health data analytics. 

Her favourite part of CanSense is the people and witnessing what we have and continue to accomplish together as a team. 

Cerys has always put so much passion and effort into her work. Though beyond this, she loves being outside, walking Tash – her geriatric golden retriever, playing golf or paddle boarding. However, since we live in Swansea, which isn't always ideal for outdoor activities, she also likes to sew, especially making dungarees.
