Genomics Lite returns at the end of the month to explore the role of genomics in cancer research.
The series is aimed for upper secondary students (e.g. GCSE & A Level) and teachers, and in four sessions will explore how genomics informs our understanding and treatment of cancer, how cancer genomics are researched in the lab, and ethical implications associated with the use of machine learning in cancer and healthcare. Individual talk details are listed below.
All sessions are free to attend and are recorded for use after the date. For more information, and to access a range of learning resources and activities, visit: https://bit.ly/GL-Cancer
