Sandpit on Understanding the Physics of Cancer

Sandpit on Understanding the Physics of Cancer:

16/17 February 2016, Halifax Hall, Sheffield **BOOK NOW**

Following our successful Focussed Workshop on the Physics of Cancer, we are organising a Sandpit event that is designed to provide an opportunity for researchers to come together and think in a very focussed way about opportunities for funding. The Sandpit is supported by EPSRC and Cancer Research UK, and our aim is to bring together physicists, clinicians and cancer biologists to form partnerships to develop cross-disciplinary research proposals. The Sandpit will run for slightly more and one day, beginning with lunch on February 16 and ending in mid-afternoon on February 17.

Goal

This is a networking event designed to stimulate the formation of new collaborative partnerships between physicists, clinicians and cancer biologists leading to the submission of research proposals to CRUK, EPSRC and other funders.

Who should attend?

We invite participation by academic staff as well as early and mid-career research fellows from clinical, physical and life science departments in the UK who are interested in the central goal of generating new collaborative research interactions at the physical/life sciences interface focussed on cancer.

Confirmed speakers to date

Dr Erik Sahai, The Francis Crick Institute
Dr John MacKenzie, University of Strathclyde
Prof Josef Käs, Leipzig University
‘Multicellular Streaming in Solid Tumours’
Prof Nicola Brown, University of Sheffield
