What is cancer? How does it develop and spread? What are scientists at the Crick doing to better understand cancer? And how are these discoveries being used to transform cancer treatments?

These are some of the questions you can explore in this online exhibit.

Discover the latest cancer research and innovative new treatments with Crick scientists and people whose lives are affected by cancer. Across four themed sections, you can hear Crick researchers, biotech scientists, and people living with cancer discuss this complex, feared and sometimes misunderstood disease.

This online exhibit accompanies Outwitting Cancer, an in-person exhibition exploring cancer research which opened at the Crick on 25 September 2021.
