Date: Monday 3rd June 2019
Time: 17:30-19:00
Venue: Clinical School Seminar Room 10, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge CB2 0SP
At our multidisciplinary networking events we pair a clinician with an industry representative or a STEM scientist to speak for 15-20 minutes each on their work and where it might be relevant to early cancer detection, and where greater collaboration could assist. At this event the focus will be on breast cancer. Following the talks there will be opportunity for networking over refreshments.
Speakers: Professor Fiona J. Gilbert - Professor of Radiology – University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine and Honorary Consultant Radiologist – Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
&
Dr Christopher E. Tromans - Volpara Solutions Ltd. "Using volumetric breast density to personalise breast screening."
Refreshments will be served - please register here

Canary Center at Stanford, Cancer Research UK and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, present the Early Detection of Cancer Conference series. The annual Conference brings together experts in early detection from multiple disciplines to share ground breaking research and progress in the field.
The Conference is part of a long-term commitment to invest in early detection research, to understand the biology behind early stage cancers, find new detection and screening methods and enhance uptake and accuracy of screening.
Date: Tuesday 15 - Thursday 17th October 2019
Venue: Radisson Blu Portman, Marylebone, London
The Cancer Research UK–AACR Joint Conference on Engineering and Physical Sciences in Oncology is taking place in London this autumn where alliances between cancer researchers and leading scientists from engineering and physical sciences backgrounds will be sparked.
The multidisciplinary programme will explore new ways to transform our understanding of biology and to better detect and treat cancer, enabling expert speakers to address some of the toughest challenges in cancer research from a variety of perspectives. You’ll have ample opportunity to interact with leaders in their field, while sessions will equip you with valuable insights into building effective alliances across disciplines.
Our programme leader, Dr Sarah Bohndiek, will be speaking in the ‘state-of-the-art cancer detection technology’ session. To see the full conference programme or to register, please click here.
