On Monday 17 May the team was delighted to be joined by over 300 viewers from around the world to learn about Artificial intelligence and the Future of Cancer.
Hosted by BBC Technology Journalist and alumna, Zoe Kleinman, this event saw Southampton’s own Professors Tim Underwood, Gastrointestinal Surgery and Head of Cancer Sciences, and Gopal Ramchurn, Professor of Artificial, take centre stage to demonstrate how AI is helping create a new blueprint, built to better understand cancer, and aid the discovery of tailored treatment.
Both Tim & Gopal shared their extensive knowledge and research successes on this subject and gave thought-provoking and informative answers to questions asked during the Q&A session.
