About this talk
Panel discussion on emerging science and cancer research. In this panel discussion chaired by presenter, broadcaster and the BBC's first Global Health Correspondent Tulip Mazumdar, the research teams behind two of this year's flagship exhibits at the Summer Science Exhibition come together to discuss their cutting-edge work and how they hope their research will change the lives of cancer patients. Speakers include: Professor Kenneth Long and Professor Pat Price of Imperial College London, whose research into laser-driven radiotherapy features in the exhibit 'Laser-focussed on science for radiotherapy'; Professor Nguyen T K Thanh and Professor Martin Forster of University College London, whose work on nanoparticles as potential diagnostic and therapeutic tools is showcased in the exhibit 'Nanomaterials: A giant leap for healthcare'. This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2026. Free to attend on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to seat availability. Advance priority tickets available via Eventbrite. Suitable for students aged 14+. Live subtitles will be available. A recording will be available later on the Royal Society YouTube channel.
