How has coronavirus affected our research?
The coronavirus pandemic has put a lot of our lab-based research on hold. But we don’t want to lose momentum or to let progress stall. We need your support, now more than ever, so that our researchers can make up for lost time.
‘We’re very proud that our researchers are doing everything they can to help overcome this crisis and to ensure that breast cancer research in the labs can continue as soon as possible.’ Dr Simon Vincent, Director of Research.
