🌟 Catch up on the highlights from the #GreatExhibitionRoadFestival 2025 where we welcomed over 600 visitors to our “Patient Power: Innovating Cancer Technologies" stand in the Future Medicines Zone. 💊 #ExRdFest #CancerResearch #PublicEngagement #AIInHealthcare

📢 We're recruiting an Analytical Scientist in Computational Genomics to develop computational approaches for investigating genomic and transcriptomic determinants in treatment resistant breast cancers 💻 🧬 Find out more and share with your networks 👉 bit.ly/4jYdsAu

Using the Centre's Microfab Facility a team led by Dr Sam Au at Imperial have launched a company, Avigen, to help accelerate the development of immunotherapies by assessing the binding strength of potential #immunotherapy cells and identifying which ones are more likely to succeed. 👉 bit.ly/4n4tbAA

We're at the Great Exhibition Road Festival this weekend! Come find us in the Future Medicine zone and try out our activities focussed on how technology can make overall #cancer care better for patients 👇 @icr.ac.uk

At the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics, structural biology reveals the 3D structures of biological molecules. But what insights can it offer into complex mechanisms such as the immune response and cell cycle regulation? #ConvergingOnCancer #Cancer #ConvergenceScience

The Great Exhibition Road Festival is a celebration of science and arts with a range of activities for all ages. Find us in the Future Medicine zone on 7th and 8th June where we’ll be focussing on technologies that are patient centric and help to improve the overall cancer journey. 🧬 🎨 🤖 @icr.ac.uk‬

Early diagnosis improves patient outcomes but getting new #cancer tests into a GP setting is slow. Our Catalyst Team uses a breadth of expertise to accelerate innovations into clinical practice. Watch our short film with @pancreaticcanuk.bsky.social calling for action. 🎬 youtu.be/VXgzgRLu5BU?...

We held a #PatientEngagement workshop to help our students grow into confident, clear, and compassionate science communicators. Students met with patients who shared thoughtful perspectives and it was a powerful reminder of the importance of involving patients at every stage of the research journey.

Immunotherapies have great promise but not all patients respond well. Read how a team of researchers at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social are using #MachineLearning to predict immunotherapy treatment outcomes in #LiverCancer 👇 www.convergencesciencecentre.ac.uk/news-events/...

The liver is well known for it's regeneration properties and ability to withstand toxic materials but could this feature actually be driving the development of liver cancer? 🤔 Explore the answer at our next international #ConvergingonCancer seminar on Thurs 8 May, 10-11am 🖱️ bit.ly/3Se4JP6

End of a long day at AACR. Presented using patient derived organoids to understand and refine mechanisms of synergy of avutometinib and defactinb combination in low grade ovarian, an area of unmet need. @icr.ac.uk @crukconvergence.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social @ecmc-uk.bsky.social

It was great to collaborate with the ICR on this careers event, welcoming local school students into the lab! Thank you to our volunteers Aria Torkpour, Emma Pryke, Joshua Killilea and Saki Okada for demonstrating the power of AI in cancer detection through a jigsaw puzzle.🧩👩‍💻

Our #ConvergingOnCancer seminar series brings together speakers from @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social and @icr.ac.uk to present their research and how they use #ConvergenceScience to answer #Cance related questions. 🖱️ bit.ly/4ljsrHa

It's important to understand how cancer cells change as a tumour develops or as it responds to treatment. This area of #ConvergeceScience is known as cancer plasticity and evolution and uses disciplines such as #Cancer biology 🧫, mathematical modelling 📐, or #Genetic engineering 🧬

Thanks to the support of @cancerresearchuk.org we were able to connect researchers from @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social and @icr.ac.uk at our Annual Symposium last week, focussing on precision medicine 🎯 and the use of data and AI in cancer research 📈 🖱️ Catch up on the highlights: bit.ly/4hYqBcN

Therapeutic ultrasound is a prime example of convergence science - using the physics behind high frequency waves and applying it to biological systems to better diagnose, monitor and even target specific tumour sites. We support research that harnesses the power of ultrasound technologies. 1/3
