The Minister for AI and Digital Government, Feryal Clark MP, visited the University of Cambridge on the day the Government announced their new AI Action Plan.
‘Game changing’ technology which can predict how patients will respond to cancer treatment is part of a wave of Cambridge research harnessing AI to fight the disease.
Listening to people's lived experiences is helping to improve the awareness and uptake of cancer care. On World Cancer Day, we take a look at some of the ways researchers are working with communities to ‘close the cancer care gap’.
Every patient with cancer has a story to tell of their journey through diagnosis and treatment. We meet a group of women who are at the centre of pioneering research in Cambridge that’s changing the outcome of ovarian cancer – helping to create treatments that are as unique as their stories.
Astronomy and oncology do not make obvious bedfellows, but the search for new stars and galaxies has surprising similarities with the search for cancerous cells. This has led to new ways of speeding up image analysis in cancer research.
Research sheds light on how tumours develop drug resistance
Cambridge scientists have honed techniques originally developed to spot distant galaxies and used them to identify biomarkers that signal a cancer’s aggressiveness.
Computational biology is helping scientists to navigate through the data deluge generated from the analysis of cancer genomes.
