Message from the Chair of the NCRI
Welcome to the NCRI Cancer Conference. I am proud to be involved with an event that has the visionary goal of attracting people from all disciplines involved in cancer research with a view to sparking new and exciting collaborations.
Since its inception in 2005 the annual Conference has rapidly become established as a leading cancer research event in the UK. Each year it continues to develop and improve, changing to meet the needs and demands of the research community.
I firmly believe that working together in new and creative ways will deliver the research needed to improve outcomes for cancer patients and reduce the number of people getting cancer.
It is this principle that forms the foundation of the Conference. By providing a broad overview of the cancer scene, we seek to create unique opportunities for networking and sharing knowledge.
Our Programme Committee are fortunate to be able to attract an extremely high calibre and diverse range of speakers from around the world, enabling us to offer a programme that we hope will attract, educate, and motivate delegates from all backgrounds.
Effective communication of ideas and developments is an essential part of research and its implementation in the modern world. Please join us and become part of this important event.
Sir Kenneth CalmanChair of the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)
