New study proposes a framework for “Child Safe AI” following recent incidents which revealed that many children see chatbots as quasi-human and trustworthy.
‘Game changing’ technology which can predict how patients will respond to cancer treatment is part of a wave of Cambridge research harnessing AI to fight the disease.
What excites Steve Jackson is understanding how biology works and why it sometimes goes wrong. But what galvanises him is knowing there are people alive today as a result of his discovery of how to create a cancer drug.
Two-thirds of the public say they are very or somewhat worried about being told they have cancer – higher than for any other medical condition – according to polling released today.
Dr Jessica Taylor’s ambition is to change the outcome of paediatric brain cancer. She wants children not just to survive but to survive well.
“There are things that only patients see,” says Elaine Chapman, lead advisory nurse for the Cambridge Cancer Hospital.
Work will begin soon on a new hospital that will transform how we diagnose and treat cancer. Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will treat patients across the East of England, but the research that takes place there promises to change the lives of cancer patients across the UK and beyond.
Researchers and clinicians are now welcoming new perspectives: those of people with experience of cancer.
As a young medical student in Nigeria, Segun was shocked by the disproportionate rate of death from treatable cancers across Africa. To help bring about change, he’s supporting knowledge sharing and skills training for students in Africa. He also co-founded an initiative to provide career guidance and mentoring for schoolchildren in Nigeria. In Cambridge, he hopes his PhD will lead to a way to enhance immune cells to deliver a ‘kiss of death’ to cancer.
Find out about groundbreaking cancer research at Cambridge, including our planned new hospital, how we're studying the earliest stages of cancer, how AI is helping fight the disease, and the patients playing a key role in our work.
