Join Research Data Scotland (RDS) at the Data-Driven Cancer Research Conference from 25 - 26 February, hosted by Cancer Research UK.

This annual event will explore the future of data-enabled cancer research, showcasing how emerging tools and technologies are transforming our understanding of cancer. Each day focuses on a specific theme: exploring data-driven research, revolutionising cancer research with AI, and personalising cancer medicine using health data.


The programme promises interesting discussions on making precision medicine inclusive, AI-accelerated early detection tools and the responsible use of AI involving children and young people. You can also visit RDS in the exhibition area, where we’ll be waiting to chat to you about all things data.


The conference is a must-attend for researchers across disciplines such as cancer research, data science, bioinformatics, computational oncology, computer science, mathematics, and statistics, from all career stages and around the world.
