📢 Save the date! Our next IRIS Insights is coming up this Thursday, June 26 at 2:00 PM (CEST).

We’re delighted to welcome Prof. Monilola Olayioye, who will speak on:
🎙️ "Tumors in Dishes: New Opportunities for Personalized Medicine"

In her talk, Prof. Olayioye will explore how patient-derived tissue samples can be used to advance cancer treatment. She’ll share insights from the 3R-US team on developing human tumor models – often called “tumors in dishes” – and how they are applied in the lab to test new therapies. The talk will also highlight approaches like bioprinting, alternatives to animal testing, and cancer biotherapeutics designed to activate the immune system.

🎯 The goal: more personalized and more effective cancer therapies.

This is the third talk in our IRIS Insights series, which showcases interdisciplinary research from the IRIS community and provides a space for dialogue across fields.

🗓️ Thursday, 26 June
🕑 2:00 PM (CEST)
🔗 Join via Webex – link in bio/comments

We’re looking forward to an inspiring session and hope to see you online!

UK universities collaborate to establish principles for generative AI technology. #AIethics

Hashtags: #chatGPT #AIethics #universityresearch Summery: All 24 Russell Group universities in the UK have developed a set of guiding principles to ensure that students and staff are equipped with AI literacy skills. The move comes as universities grapple with the increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and assessment methods. The principles aim to…
