What causes cancer to take hold in the first place? Why are some people more vulnerable than others? Can we predict or even prevent it before it begins?
Bar-Ilan’s Dr. Yaakov Maman is working to answer these questions by studying the hidden patterns in our DNA. His research focuses on genomic instability – a key factor in cancer development – and the technologies that allow us to map, model, and understand these weak points in our genetic code.
Join us on Tuesday 6th May for a webinar with Dr Maman. Hosted by the Canadian Friends of Bar-Ilan, in partnership with the Israel Cancer Research Fund, we’ll explore how his work is advancing efforts in early detection, targeted therapies, and personalised medicine.
We’ll also discuss the role of AI in decoding the genome, and what a breakthrough in this field could mean in the years ahead.
If you’ve ever wondered what your DNA might be trying to tell us – or how science is pushing the boundaries of cancer research – this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
5pm, Tues 6 May
