Description

Crowdsourced analysis of cancerous tissue: using images from Cancer Research UK volunteers help to classify archived cancer samples.

Purpose.

This project is a first of its kind for Cancer Research UK. It will change the face of cancer research. We’re fighting for a world where no one’s life will be cut short by cancer . . . and there is real hope. Each year, our scientists get closer to finding cures for cancers – whether through targeted treatments or earlier detection.
