The Great Cancer Vaccine Advance – History in the Making takes you inside one of the boldest scientific efforts of our time: vaccines designed to give lasting immunity from cancer.
Hosted by Chloe and Oxford Associate Professor and cancer doctor Lennard Lee, each month brings real-time updates from labs, clinics, policy rooms and patient communities.
In every episode, each month, you’ll hear breakthroughs, patient voices and the people making change possible.
This isn’t history told later – it’s history unfolding now, with the potential to forever change the outlook for people with cancer.
The Great Cancer Vaccine Advance – History in the Making
Episode: August 2025
This month feels different. What began as fragile ideas are now standing tall. Trials are expanding, hospitals are opening doors, and families are daring to hope.
The UK has moved from waiting to leading. Cancer vaccines are no longer a distant vision—they are written into national strategy, supported by infrastructure, and backed by real momentum.
In this August episode, we explore:
The Cancer Vaccine Launchpad expanding into head and neck cancer, with 15 NHS centres across the country.
Government plans that put cancer vaccines at the heart of industrial and life sciences strategy.
Global breakthroughs, from universal vaccine concepts in Florida to bold new science in Virginia and Wisconsin.
The people making it real—civil servants, clinicians, researchers, and patients driving change together.
This is not a podcast about promises. It is a front-row seat to progress as it happens—trials opening, discoveries being made, patients finding opportunities that did not exist before.
Each month we share stories, science, and voices from inside this movement. With every episode the momentum grows stronger, the vision clearer, the future closer.
The Great Cancer Vaccine Advance – History in the Making is live now.
