Science on the Hill
What is Science on the Hill?
Science on the Hill is a free programme of events jointly organised by the School of Life Sciences and Warwick Medical School - two departments based out of our Gibbet Hill campus. At each event academics, PhD students and researchers are invited to give short, fun, and informative talks around a theme. We support the evening with light refreshments and plenty of activities and demonstrations in our amazing IBRB building.
Recent events have explored host defences, microbiomes, early life, communication, and stress.
11th November - Translating Science into Treatments: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Combatting Cancer
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 5:30 pm, talks begin at 6 pm.
How can I sign up to hear about more events in the future?
