INVITATION ONLY
If you are interested in attending, please contact Nathalie Kopecky, Programme Manager at [email protected]
We welcome applications from early-career, mid-career, established independent, and industry researchers working in cancer biology, biomedicine, analytical science, physical science, and engineering, as well as clinicians and health professionals.
This event will bring together engineers, cancer biologists and clinicians to explore the challenges and opportunities for early detection research, as highlighted in the CRUK Early Detection Roadmap. The event will also foster new interdisciplinary collaborations for early detection funding opportunities.
The programme will give an overview of interdisciplinary funding opportunities from CRUK and the Academy. It will also include a talk from scientists currently collaborating on a CRUK award. The rest of the programme will focus on networking so that the communities can connect with each other.
