Searching through the mountains of published cancer research could be made easier for scientists, thanks to a new AI system. 

Cambridge leads a £10 million interdisciplinary collaboration to target the most challenging of cancers.

As the UK marks Black History Month, researchers from across the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ talk about their route to Cambridge, their inspiration and their motivation.

For women with HER2 positive early-stage breast cancer taking Herceptin for six months could be as effective as 12 months in preventing relapse and death, and can reduce side effects, finds new research.

Four Cambridge academics are among the new Fellows announced today by the Royal Society and chosen for their outstanding contributions to science.

Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has today announced funding for a new Children’s Brain Tumour Centre of Excellence, based at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge and ̽»¨Ö±²¥Institute of Cancer Research, London.

Professor Greg Hannon is today announced as the new director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. 

Nanobots that patrol our bodies, killer immune cells hunting and destroying cancer cells, biological scissors that cut out defective genes: these are just some of technologies that Cambridge researchers are developing which are set to revolutionise medicine in the future.

Gene editing using ‘molecular scissors’ that snip out and replace faulty DNA could provide an almost unimaginable future for some patients: a complete cure. Cambridge researchers are working towards making the technology cheap and safe, as well as examining the ethical and legal issues surrounding one of the most exciting medical advances of recent times.

Scientists at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have developed a new statistical model which estimates kidney function in patients with cancer. This is the most accurate model for estimating kidney function yet developed and should help cancer specialists treat their patients more safely and improve the accuracy of chemotherapy dosing. ̽»¨Ö±²¥model is now available free online.
