| Dear Voornaam
Next year, we’re holding a new conference in prevention research with the American Cancer Society on 25-27 June in Boston. We’ll bring together cancer prevention researchers from discovery biology through translational and behavioural science to population and implementation research.
John Burn from Newcastle University, Tim Rebbeck from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Thea Tlsty from the University of California San Francisco are shaping the programme to share the latest thinking, results, and address opportunities within the field.
Register your interest to be the first to know when registration opens, and follow along #PrevConf24 on our socials for more updates. |

“FALLING INTO CANCER RESEARCH WAS QUITE ACCIDENTAL” Neil Hunt is a physical chemist who leads a team at the University of York exploring infrared spectroscopy in liquid biopsies.
And Peter Weightman is a physics professor who’s developing a prototype device to predict prognosis based on machine learning with a multi-disciplinary team at the University of Liverpool.
We found how they are both applying lessons from non-cancer fields to detecting cancer earlier. |
