Hackathon – AI in cancer omics: what can we learn from cancer resistant species?

Churchill College, Cambridge

9-11th July 2026

Deadline to apply: 12th April 2026

Are you a graduate student or early career researcher? Join the three-day hackathon exploring one of the most intriguing questions in cancer biology: what can we learn from species that naturally resist cancer?

This hackathon, hosted by the Fundamental Biology of Cancer Programme at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre, will train participants to use machine learning to study cancer-resistant species like whales, elephants, and naked mole-rats, uncovering natural tumour-fighting mechanisms that could inspire new approaches to preventing and treating human cancers. The event is funded by the Accelerate Programme for Scientific Discovery and the Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery.

If you are curious, collaborative and ready to challenge yourself, this is your opportunity to build new skills, meet future collaborators and contribute to cutting-edge cancer research. If you have any questions please email fbc@cancer.cam.ac.uk.

Apply for a place using this form by Sunday 12 April (you will be notified if successful in May)

CCC Early Career Researchers (ECR)Network

ECR Network welcomes everyone to the launch of a new initiative aimed at fostering connections between CCC and ECRs working on all aspects of collections-based research. The Network will be chaired, on a rotational basis, by one of the three N2H PDRAs. By taking part in the CCC ECR Network, members will:

Expand their network amongst academics and collection professionals. Members of the Network will be offered collections-specific skills workshops with curators / collections managers / exhibitions teams in Cambridge to enhance researchers’ knowledge of the working environment.

Have the opportunity to connect with other collection-based researchers for the purposes of knowledge exchange (e.g. with regard to methodology, perspective, approach) and/or collaboration.

Gain professional experience by leading, or co-leading, themed seminar sessions.

Advance their knowledge and understanding of grant funding opportunities with the support of the Research Grants Facilitator.

Gain training in Knowledge-Exchange and Impact.

Learn more about the diverse and exciting collections housed across Cambridge.
