Forum overview

Everyone knows someone who has had cancer.

It is a disease that has plagued our society, and for some it is part of their daily lives. However, now in this age of genes and genomics technology, cancer research is undergoing a revolution.

Our expert speakers will reveal the new approaches to cancer research that will lead to breakthrough discoveries. From the ‘how and why’ of getting cancer, through to new drug development and delivery, we will delve into how cutting-edge technologies have changed our approach to this age-old disease, and answer the questions:

“Where will the cancer research revolution take us next?”

“How close are we to finding the cure for cancer?”
