#LungCancer often arises in narrow, fragile spaces deep in the lungs. These tumours can be hard to biopsy – so Chukwudozie Ubosi is developing a tiny robotic device made of soft materials. Using AI-assisted magnetic steering to navigate the lung, the robot will enable easier, safer #cancer biopsies.

Wildfire smoke exposure is linked to higher #LungCancer risk and lower survival rates. Kenneth Ofori-Amanfo is studying how lung cells react to smoke and how this contributes to #cancer risk. The work could eventually lead to better prevention and new targeted treatments for people with lung cancer.
