Cancer Research UK: Data-driven Cancer Research Conference 2026

February 24 @ 9:00 am - February 26 @ 5:00 pm

About this event

Join us in Edinburgh for three days of stimulating panel discussions, world-class research talks, poster presentations and much more.

Each day will focus on a key theme exploring the future of data-enabled cancer research:

Day 1 – Horizon scanning technologies with quantum sensing, quantum imaging and quantum computation as an exemplar

Day 2 – Revolutionising cancer research: the transformative role of AI

Day 3 – Personalising cancer medicine: the power of health data

Throughout the event, we will also focus on how we can build vital trust and transparency regarding the use of patient data through patient and public involvement and engagement. Additionally, we’ll work together to address data solutions to shared challenges in children’s and young people’s cancers.

This is a must-attend event for anyone working in cancer research, data science, bioinformatics, computational oncology, computer science, mathematics or statistics, including those working at the interface between these disciplines. The event is open to researchers from all career stages from across the world.
