CRUK Cambridge Institute
@CRUK_CI
We are a world-leading cancer research institute dedicated to improving patient lives through discovery science. Core funded by @CR_UK, part of @Cambridge_Uni.
I'm honoured to join @CRUK_CI and @Cambridge_Uni as a Junior Group Leader of AI for Cancer. My group will focus on reasoning, multimodality, hypothesis-making, and more to decode disease and health. A few positions are opened — consider applying to outsmart cancer together!
We are delighted to welcome @hana_aliee to the Institute. She joins as a Junior Group Leader and will lead her team in developing AI models to understand the molecular mechanisms driving health and disease. Find out more: cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-hana-a…

Beyond carrying out vital research, our staff are involved in lots of science outreach activities every year. Recently, we hosted students at our annual Careers Lab. This programme is designed to inspire the next generation of STEM scientists & supporters. cruk.cam.ac.uk/students/caree…
New research published today by the Institute's de la Roche Group is shining a light on why some cancer drugs have been underperforming in clinical trials. This knowledge opens new opportunities for immunotherapies to be made more effective. cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/new-clue-…
Institute scientist Dr Jane Gray, who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, was guest of honour at #RaceforLife in Cambridge, joining thousands of participants to raise more than £200,000 for life-saving cancer research. Full story: cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-jane-g…
🎉 Huge congratulations to Prof Sir Shankar Balasubramanian on winning the @RoySocChem Khorana Prize! Awarded for outstanding contributions through work at the chemistry and life science interface. Find out more 👉 cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/prof-sir-… #RSCPrizes
The days of one-size-fits-all chemotherapy are ending. Researchers at @CRUK_CI, @CNIOStopCancer & @TailorBio have developed a test that predicts resistance to common chemotherapy drugs, paving the way for personalised cancer treatment. Find out more👉cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/scientist…
Being environmentally sustainable is not only good for the planet but saves us money, ensuring more of our funding goes to the science and not the bills. We are delighted to receive our Green Impact Platinum Sustainability Award for 2025. #SustainableScience
