When it comes to cancer screening, there is a lot of misinformation that can be dangerous. We want to debunk some myths about cancer screening:
🚫 Myth: “If no one in my family has cancer, I don’t need to worry about it.”
🚫 Myth: “I’m too young to worry about cancer screenings.”
🚫 Myth: “If I feel healthy and don’t have symptoms, I shouldn’t need to worry.”
Early detection saves lives. It’s not about looking for trouble; it’s about finding the truth so you can take control of your health
Let this be your sign to call your doctor for a routine check-up and stay ahead of the game.

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Be aware of the possible signs and symptoms — risk increases with age. Most cases are diagnosed in men aged 50+.
Early detection is crucial in the fight against prostate cancer. Regular screenings can save lives by identifying issues before they become serious. Talk to your doctor about when to start screening and take a proactive step toward your health!

As Q1 2026 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a busy and energising few months for our co-founding CEO, Tiffany.
From speaking on panels to connecting with founders, investors, and operators across the ecosystem, it’s been a quarter full of meaningful conversations and momentum. Highlights include:
• The Conception X Panel at Christ Church College, Oxford @thisisconceptionx
• The SeedWISE Programme, hosted by Enterprising Women Oxford at the University of Oxford @enspireoxford
• RisingWISE — a joint initiative between the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge @mpls_enterprising_women
• An interview with Natasha Robbins
• A fireside chat with Gigi Wang
Grateful for the opportunity to share our journey, learn from inspiring leaders, and continue building alongside such a strong community.

Our co-founder and scientific lead, Susan, recently attended the Gordon Research Conference (2026: DNA Damage, Mutation, and Cancer) held March 1–6, 2026, in California. She chaired the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), delivered a talk, and presented a poster that won first place - an incredible achievement.
The conference brought together many scholars to share insights and discuss research advancing the frontiers of science.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!
Most colorectal cancer develops from polyps, which can be easily identified through a colonoscopy. Knowing the signs and symptoms can significantly improve survival rates.
Early detection is crucial in the fight against colorectal cancer. Regular screenings can save lives by identifying issues before they become serious. Talk to your doctor about when to start screening and take a proactive step toward your health!

🔬 Happy International Women’s Day from GambitBio! 🌍✨
Today we’re celebrating the women behind our mission to transform cancer detection.
💡 Tiffany – CEO and co-founder of GambitBio. Tiffany holds a PhD in Oncology from the University of Oxford and is a frequent speaker at scientific and entrepreneurship events, sharing insights on innovations in oncology, and biotech entrepreneurship while leading GambitBio’s vision, fundraising, and strategy.
🧬 Susan – co-founder and scientific lead. Susan also holds a PhD in Oncology from the University of Oxford and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard Medical School, bringing deep scientific expertise and mentorship to the research driving our biomarker discoveries.
⚡ June – bringing a unique interdisciplinary background spanning scientific training, sustainability consulting at Deloitte, accountancy, and is also a classically trained musician. She contributes valuable project management and operational support, helping keep our growing team organised and moving forward.
Together, they represent the curiosity, resilience, and ambition that drive innovation in science.
Today we also celebrate women across STEM who are pushing boundaries, solving big problems, and paving the way for the next generation of scientists and founders.
Here’s to lifting each other up, building bold ideas, and creating breakthroughs that change the world. 💪✨

Last week, our CEO, Dr Tiffany Ma, delivered the keynote at Bangor University’s NWMS Seminar Series 🎤✨
The session saw the highest turnout the series has had in the past two years — with an incredibly engaged audience of PhD students, postdocs, and PIs exploring how to translate research into real-world impact 🔬➡️🌍
What stood out most?
The majority of questions weren’t about IP, fundraising, or regulatory pathways.
They were about the internal barriers 🧠💭
• How do you overcome self-doubt?
• How do you know when you’re “ready”?
• How do you manage perfectionism?
For a room full of brilliant scientists, the biggest obstacles weren’t technical — they were internal.
The discussion covered both the practicalities of company building 🏗️📈 and the human side of innovation — imposter syndrome, analysis paralysis, and why clarity often comes after action 🚀
During International Day of Women and Girls in Science week 👩🔬💜, it felt especially meaningful to celebrate the incredible women shaping the future of research and entrepreneurship in Bangor.
The science is powerful - the people behind it are even more so!

🌍💚 World Cancer Day reminds us that cancer isn’t something we leave to chance — it demands clarity, foresight, and early action.
At GambitBio, we believe early detection is the strongest first move. When you can see the board clearly, you’re no longer reacting—you’re leading. Our mission is to empower individuals with the tools and knowledge to act earlier, shifting the balance before cancer has the advantage.
Together, we can raise awareness, encourage regular screening, and help more people take control sooner. Because every informed decision matters—and early action can change lives. ♟️✨

🌟 Celebrating International Women’s Day with Dr. Susan Kilgas! 🌟 @susankilgas
From Estonia to the UK, and now making waves at Harvard Medical School & Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Susan’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. After completing her undergrad at Imperial College London and PhD at Oxford, she’s now a Postdoc at Harvard & DFCI, where she was awarded the DFCI Trustee Committee Postdoctoral Fellowship—an honor given to only two researchers that year across DFCI and Harvard Medical School. ✨
With 10+ publications, multiple awards, and leadership roles, including chairing an upcoming Gordon Research Conference, Susan is shaping the future of science. As co-founder of GambitBio, she leads groundbreaking biomarker discovery, pushing the boundaries of early disease detection.
Her advice to young girls in STEM? Take calculated risks, believe in yourself, and don’t let ANYONE stand in the way of your dreams. 💪
On this International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the women who break barriers, redefine innovation, and inspire the next generation! 💜

✨ Happy International Women’s Day! 💪🔥
At GambitBio, we celebrate the incredible women driving innovation and shaping the future of healthcare. Two weeks ago, our CEO Tiffany Ma took the stage at two inspiring events:
📍 Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) – Found in Translation conference
Tiffany delivered a keynote on translating cutting-edge science into real-world impact, sharing GambitBio’s mission to revolutionise early cancer detection and encouraging current PhD students to consider the start-up career path.
📍 Bayes Business School – Ideas to Innovation Panel
Tiffany joined an empowering discussion alongside fellow female founders Lydia (co-founder of Ivee) and Joey (co-founder of Leiho), sharing insights on turning ideas into successful ventures.
