In the first part of a new podcast series, Ellie Wolmark speaks with patient representatives Lorraine, Frankie, and Ann from across our Patient and Public Involvement groups, alongside ICM researchers Professor James Brenton, Dr Ines Machado, and Dr Gabriel Funingana from the University of Cambridge.
Together, they explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied in cancer research, how it could support personalised treatment, and what the future might hold. The patients share thoughtful questions and concerns about the role of AI in healthcare, while the researchers explain how it’s currently being used and what challenges remain.
This lively and insightful discussion highlights just how valuable patient involvement is in shaping research that truly meets the needs of those it aims to help.
