We invite you to join us online on Thursday 16th January, from 3-4 PM (GMT).
The CRUK Convergence Science Centre is a partnership between Imperial College London and The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). We aim to bring together researchers from different disciplines across both institutions to develop innovative ways to address challenges in cancer research to benefit patients.
This seminar series brings together speakers from Imperial and ICR to present their research and how they use convergence science to answer cancer-related questions.
Dr Sophie Morse (Imperial)
Dr Sophie Morse will present "Therapeutic Ultrasound against Brain Tumours"
Dr Sophie Morse currently leads an interdisciplinary group at Imperial focused on modulating the activity of the innate immune cells in the brain to help tackle brain diseases such as brain tumours, alongside delivering drugs to the brain by temporarily opening the blood-brain barrier with focused ultrasound and microbubbles.
Prof Jeff Bamber (ICR)
Prof Jeff Bamber will present the convergence related work his team are doing on improving the use of ultrasound in spotting tumours
Who can attend?
Researchers, students and anyone with an interest in convergence science relating to cancer research across Imperial and ICR are welcome to register. Get in touch for registration details: icr-imperial-convergence.centre@imperial.ac.uk
