Led by Cancer Research UK with support from Health Data Research UK, The Alan Turing Institute and the Economic and Social Research Council’s Administrative Data Research UK programme.
Cancer Data Driven Detection (CD3) is a proposed new, national research initiative dedicated to using data to revolutionise our understanding of cancer risk and to allow early interception of cancers.
Professor Antonis Antoniou, a data scientist with expertise in cancer risk prediction and cancer prevention, has been appointed by CRUK to lead the funder's development of their cancer data driven detection initiative. He is leading the development of this programme over a one-year build phase. This first workshop for this initiative aims to convene the leading experts from across the United Kingdom in cancer risk, epidemiology, multi-omics, early detection, prevention, health informatics and data science and showcase the breadth of expertise in the research community and scope available data sets/methodologies/infrastructure.
Applications from patient and public representatives who are keen to help shape this initiative are also welcomed.
Submit your expression of interest (closing date 7 July 2023). This will be a one day workshop to be held in London on 11 September 2023. Researchers from academic, clinical and industry backgrounds are welcome to apply. Early-career researchers are also welcome to apply but must have postdoctoral experience or equivalent. Please note, places are limited, and you should complete the form accordingly.
