To mark World Cancer Day 2026, our UCL panellists discuss some of the latest cancer research in their respective fields.

This special event will explore the rapidly evolving field of Computational Cancer. The discussion will highlight how data‑driven science, artificial intelligence and advanced mathematical modelling are transforming our understanding of cancer, improving diagnostic accuracy and accelerating the development of new therapies.

UCL’s distinctly multidisciplinary approach brings together experts across computational biology, oncology, engineering and data science and this event will showcase the innovative research taking place across the university. It’s an opportunity to hear directly from leading UCL researchers about how computational methods are reshaping the future of cancer care.
