| Lecture Title "Future Cancer Medicine:Bridging the Academic/Clinical Interface". "Cancer is daunting in the breadth and scope of its diversity, spanning genetics, cell and tissue biology, pathology, individual patient factors and response to therapy. Our aim is to more fully understand the mechanisms of cancer development and malignant progression, and to apply that knowledge to cancer medicine. UCC Futures - Future Medicines is focused on creating step-change advancements in earlier detection, faster prognosis and targeted treatments to reduce the global health burden and improve quality-of-life for patients with many conditions, including cancer. Developing novel, more effective and more personalised cancer medicines that increase survival, with improved quality of life and no/minimal toxicity from treatment is our goal. Clinical researchers who bridge the academic/clinical interface and have time dedicated to both seeing patients and academic research have a crucial role in the future of cancer medicine". Prof Gleeson
