Tue 20 Oct 2026 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Firth Hall, Firth Court, University of Sheffield, S10 2TN

Join us for a symposium about novel and alternative models and methodologies applicable to cancer research.

Organised by the leads of cancer research domain of discovery and translational science, Anestis Tsakiridis, Mariaelena Pierobon and John Snowden, in the Sheffield Centre for Cancer Research, in collaboration with the Bateson Centre for Disease Mechanisms, this event is a platform for academics and technical leads to showcase novel and alternative models and approaches that you might not know about in other faculties, particularly in Science and Engineering.

We hope you will leave the event with new ideas, collaborations and a clearer picture of the innovative models, methodologies and expertise available across the university to support your research objectives.  

We look forward to welcoming you to our symposium on Novel Models & Methodologies in Cancer Research on Tuesday.
