Data-driven cancer research conference 2023

We are delighted to launch our inaugural data-driven cancer research conference, which aims to celebrate the potential of cancer research data to drive discovery and innovation.  

We will leverage this event to continue to build a data science community within the UK, showcase fantastic science and foster new discussions and collaborations between researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, funders and industry.   

Audience 

This is a must attend event for anyone already working in data science.  

The event is open to researchers from all career stages, working in or interested in cancer research, data science, bioinformatics, computational oncology, computer science, mathematics or statistics including those working at the interface between these disciplines.   

We also welcome clinicians and healthcare professionals, patients and patient advocates, other funders and industry representatives to attend and join the conversation around maximising the scientific value of health and research data. 

Attendees will have opportunities throughout the event to network with peers, view posters and join in thought-provoking conversations.
