A temporary exhibition on cancer: Exploring understandings of and relationships with cancer (360G-Wellcome-213247_Z_18_Z)

£19,425

The temporary exhibition on cancer aims to showcase how understandings and experiences of cancer have changed over time including addressing the medical, social and ethical complexities associated with current research developments. This includes an examination of the impact of developments in scientific research such as genomic medicine on perceptions of what cancer is, how it is managed and what it might look like in the future. The researcher embedded in the project team will conduct the research and development that would shape the overarching narrative, content and interpretation strategy and learning outcomes of the exhibition; with the option of focusing on a key area identified during the development process, for example, exploring challenges and opportunities associated with generating and interpreting genomic data. This would include interviews with those affected by cancer as well as experts in the field of cancer research including scientists, data specialists and healthcare practitioners. The researcher will also develop a public participation project which would take the form of a public consultation exercise centred on the contemporary patient experience, with the objective of generating public dialogue and policy recommendations for relevant organisations.
