Science on the Hill: Come see how Warwick tackles cancer with science

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:06:04 GMT

Free tickets for an evening on 11 November with talks and lots of time for engagement and discussion with chemists, physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists. Light refreshments are available.

Hear how mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists improve diagnosis and our understanding of cancer, how chemists take inspiration from fungi and bacteria to develop new anti-cancer drugs or design delivery vehicles that target immune cells, and physicists employ diamonds to look skin deep for cancer cells.

Whether you're curious about the equations that can guide diagnosis and improve therapy decisions or how magnets can help surgeons find cancer cells, this evening promises to inform and inspire.

Doors open at 5:30pm and light refreshments will be provided. Talks begin at 6:00pm.

Please note the recommended age for this event is 14+ and all under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.
