The 2016 Cancer Research Nottingham (CRN) Symposium program featured industrial, medical and scientific sessions of interest to all members of the Cancer Research Priority Area at University of Nottingham.

- Prof Peter Parker, Integrated Cancer Centre, Kings College London, UK
- Prof Richard Bayliss, University of Leeds, UK
