Our Other Corporate Partners

Novartis

Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited generously supported Gresham College with £55,000 of sponsorship for the ‘New Hope in Cancer’ lecture series. This was of particular interest to audiences in the UK and worldwide since treatments and research in cancer are moving very fast, giving new hope to many. These lectures included ‘The AI Revolution in Cancer Imaging’ by Dr Richard Sidebottom, ‘How Cancer Genomics is Transforming Cancer Care’ by Professor Sanjay Popat, and ‘Immunotherapy: Cure for Metastatic Cancers’ by Professor James Larkin. A panel discussion followed the lectures along with three podcasts. 

Gresham College is grateful to Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd for their support. Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd had no input into the context or development of this programme.
