From Cells to Code: Brewing the Future of Cancer Research brings together cutting-edge science shaping tomorrow’s healthcare. Explore how clinical trials deliver next-generation therapies, how biobanks power discovery through donated samples, and how AI-driven initiatives like PharosAI are transforming cancer detection, treatment, and prevention. Discover how cells, data, and code are uniting to accelerate breakthroughs and improve patient outcomes.

Next-Generation Therapies: Inside Modern Clinical Trials

Amelia Te (Advanced Therapies Lead Nurse)

Elka Giemza (King's NIHR Clinical Research Facility Manager)

Clinical research turns scientific discoveries into safe, effective treatments. This talk offers an inside look at how modern clinical trials are designed and delivered at King’s College Hospital, and explores advanced therapies, including cell and gene treatments, that are transforming care for diseases such as cancer.

Biobanks – An investment with guaranteed returns

Dr. Cheryl Gillett (Head of Tissue Banking for KCL Health Schools)

Step inside the hidden engine of modern medicine. Biobanks are living libraries of blood, tissue, and data - donated by patients and volunteers - to unlock the secrets of disease. Every sample is safely anonymised, yet powerful: one donation can spark dozens of studies. From early ideas to AI-driven breakthroughs, biobanks fuel discoveries that transform diagnosis and treatment. Come find out how your cells could help shape the future of healthcare.

PharosAI - Shining a Light on Cancer’s Complexity

Dr. Emma Colliver, PhD (PharosAI Research Fellow in Computational Biostatistics)

What if AI could transform how we detect, treat, and even prevent cancer? PharosAI is turning that vision into reality. This DSIT-funded initiative brings together London universities and NHS partners to build powerful, secure cancer datasets for cutting-edge AI. From smarter diagnostics to faster drug discovery, PharosAI is creating a new ecosystem for innovation - accelerating breakthroughs and improving outcomes for patients everywhere.
