The main aim of this lecture series is to provide all researchers with a strong background in cancer biology, ranging from basic biology through to translational aspects.
The lectures will be given by senior members of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre and invited speakers.
Attendance is compulsory for all first year MRes and PhD students and clinical fellows funded by the CRUK Cambridge Centre. Other students and staff of the University of Cambridge are welcome to attend.
The lectures are held every Thursday at 9.30 a.m. in-person in the School of Clinical Medicine (William Harvey Lecture Theatre). They are also currently relayed live via Zoom.
