Can AI accelerate a cancer vaccine?
Old Member Dr Lennard Lee (Medicine, 2005) is helping to lead a pioneering UK project using AI and supercomputing to speed up the development of personalised cancer vaccines.
His work brings together cancer research, sovereign AI infrastructure, and robotic laboratory equipment, with the aim of making cancer therapies faster and more effective. At the centre of the project is CIARA, the UK’s first prototype AI Scientist, designed to support human researchers and accelerate discovery under full human oversight.
For Lennard, the ambition behind the work also reflects lessons learned at Queen’s and at sea (during a record-breaking swim): resilience and the belief that small groups of committed people can achieve extraordinary things.
“Success is fundamentally about teams. Queen’s taught me that.”

📖 Four Queen’s second-year Germanists have contributed to 'Fragmented: A New Translation of Selected Unfinished Todesarten Texts', a forthcoming #TaylorEditions volume of unfinished prose by Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann whose 100th birthday it would have been today.
💬 Working with texts full of ambiguity and possibility, the students discovered translation as something deeply human: creative and collaborative, sometimes frustrating, and ultimately joyful.
Edited by Dr Isabel Parkinson, Lecturer in German, the book will be published as part of the Taylorian Editions 'Writers in Residence' series.

Experts including Dr Frances Reynolds, Shillito Fellow and Associate Professor of Assyriology and Senior Research Fellow of Queen's, discuss the enduring historical significance of the Code of Hammurabi.
They explore how these ancient Babylonian laws, carved into a basalt pillar, established a lasting legal legacy that continues to be recognised by international institutions today.
