The ICR is making the discoveries that defeat cancer. We're a top UK academic research centre, a postgrad college, and a charity. đź“Ť London (Chelsea and Sutton) https://www.icr.ac.uk/

Dr Ricardo Sainz from the Division of Radiotherapy and Imaging talks about his research for International Day of Immunology.

Professor Anguraj Sadanandam, Professor in Stratification and Precision Medicine at the ICR, pictured in a lab coat. He is quoted saying: “Our research uses advanced AI methods to pull together large amounts of complex data, helping us to spot patterns that would otherwise be impossible for a human to see, and to uncover the clues hidden within a patient’s tumour. “In future, I hope this approach will lead to a test that can be used by clinicians, to ensure patients receive personalised care that has the highest chance of working against their cancer.”

Quote by Professor Trevor Graham saying “By performing detailed molecular analysis of bowel cancers from the 1960s and comparing the results to bowel cancers from today, we hope to identify exactly what is driving the increase in bowel cancer diagnoses in younger adults. This could lead to new strategies for bowel cancer prevention and treatment.”
Professor Paul Workman pictured next to a quote from him saying: “It takes many different people and organisations to discover and develop new cancer medicines, and I’m humbled to be honoured in this way for my contributions.”
