A night devoted to the leaps and bounds being made in the field of cancer research. Discover new and innovative ways of finding cancerous tumours as well as the potential of customised cancer treatment. Plus plenty of Pint of Science Swag to be won.

Microfluidic chips, can they customise treatment for cancer?

How microfluidic devices (or chips) can be used to study pieces of tissue from the human body and the information could be used to inform clinical decisions.

New ways to find out if you have cancer - wee pots at the ready!

My research group is looking for proteins that are unique to cancer cells. We have found a protein that is only present in ovarian cancer cells and could let us detect ovarian cancer in the very earliest stages of disease. We know that the earlier you find cancer the easier it is to treat and the more successful the treatment is likely to be. So now we are
looking for proteins in wee that would help us find cancer early. And then we could check a lot more people for cancer, before they even know they have it.
