What's inside? See the latest edition of Search, our newsletter to supporters.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up new possibilities in our mission to defeat cancer, and this special edition of Search brings you an in-depth look at how we are pioneering in new ways.
Learn more about how artificial intelligence is being integrated across drug discovery and development to accelerate research, from predicting cancer cell responses to treatment and identifying promising drug combinations, to enabling faster progression into clinical trials and ultimately speeding up the delivery of new therapies to patients.
You can also find highlights about how artificial intelligence is being used across multiple studies to improve how cancer treatments are selected and personalised, with the aim of reducing unnecessary side effects while ensuring patients receive the most effective care.
As AI becomes integrated into our world, we also share more on the importance of accurate and transparent AI tools for cancer diagnosis and treatment, while prioritising patient safety, public trust, and robust validation before clinical use.
