DESCRIPTION:Join the Early Detection programme of the CRUK Cambridge Centr
 e for the first in a series of ideas sharing events to encourage collabora
 tion between clinicians and basic scientists. These events build on our re
 cently published infographics factsheets\, which highlight key areas of ph
 ysical sciences research in Cambridge that could in future improve early c
 ancer detection.\n\nSpeakers:\nDr Robert Rintoul: Consultant respiratory p
 hysician in thoracic oncology at Papworth Hospital\, Cambridge and Honorar
 y Visiting Senior Fellow in the University of Cambridge. Robert is current
 ly the lead clinician for cancer at Papworth Hospital and Director of the 
 Papworth Hospital Clinical Trials Unit Collaboration.  The focus of his wo
 rk is around clinical trials and translational research in malignant mesot
 helioma and the early detection of lung cancer.  \n\nDr Daniel Muñoz-Espi
 n: Group Leader\, Early Detection Programme. Daniel’s laboratory focuses
  on the fundamental mechanisms and processes that lie at the origin of lun
 g cancer. In particular\, the interplay between cellular senescence and ce
 llular plasticity\, and the role of cancer stem cells. He aims to translat
 e this knowledge using diagnostic and therapeutic tools based on novel mes
 oporous silica nanoparticles targeted to senescent cells.\n\nRefreshments 
 will be provided. To sign up go to: Join the Early Detection programme of
