Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method that could unlock a research ‘treasure trove’ of cancer genomes from billions of preserved tissue samples stored routinely at hospitals over decades.

A new, free exhibition chronicling how science is transforming cancer care opens at the Science Museum in London today – featuring discoveries led by researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London.

Professor Kristian Helin, Chief Executive and President at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and Professor Trevor Graham, Director of the ICR’s Centre for Evolution and Cancer, have been awarded prestigious Fellowships for the Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS).
