Scientists in Cambridge and London have developed a catalogue of DNA mutation ‘fingerprints’ that could help doctors pinpoint the environmental culprit responsible for a patient’s tumour – including showing some of the fingerprints left in lung tumours by specific chemicals found in tobacco smoke.

Searching through the mountains of published cancer research could be made easier for scientists, thanks to a new AI system. 

Cambridge leads a £10 million interdisciplinary collaboration to target the most challenging of cancers.
