We warmly invite you to join us for the UCL Brain Cancer Seminar Series

The seminars will be an opportunity to bring together the research community across UCL (QS IoN, GOSH-ICH, and the CI), NHS Trusts (UCLH, GOSH), and the Francis Crick Institute, alongside our wider national & global partners. We will use these seminars to raise the researcher profile, foster engagement and encourage networking across research groups working in areas related to brain cancer, across diverse disciplines, including engineering, machine learning, and basic biology through to clinical studies. The seminars will provide a platform for knowledge exchange and transfer to help facilitate cross collaborative projects across the breadth of the translational pipeline, to lead and support cutting-edge research in brain tumour biology, novel diagnostic methods, and new therapies, in our mission to cure brain cancer.

The next seminar will be hosted on Wednesday 24th March, in collaboration with the University of Toronto at

11:00 - 12:00 GMT (U.K) / 07:00 - 08:00 EST (Canada)

Zoom details will be shared shortly with all registered attendees
