This month we invited Members of the Senedd to visit @ECSCRI at @cardiffuni to see some of the ground-breaking research we’re funding. They met Prof Richard Clarkson and his team, who are working to understand how triple negative breast cancer can become resistant to chemo.

Huge thanks to @catherinehgn and her team @CUCancerInst this afternoon for giving us an insight into their crucial research of early detection of #PancreaticCancer. Diagnosis in early stages is critical to survival rates, which for PC have barely improved in 50 years. 💜

Terrence is doing some brilliant work funded by @tenovuscancer at the @CUCancerInst to increase understanding of longterm complications associated with radiotherapy.
What can flies teach us about cancer? Terrence is a PhD student at the Institute, looking into complications related to radiotherapy, to help improve cancer treatment in the future.
