Following the good news from Cancer Research UK and NIHR at the end of 2016 confirming our successful CRUK Major Centre, Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC) and BRC funding renewals, the theme of this year's Symposium will be a celebration of the incredible breadth and depth of cancer science that takes place in and between the partner organisations that form the foundations of the CRUK Cambridge Centre. We have some excellent speakers lined up and plenty of networking opportunities over lunch and after the meeting.
The Symposium will take place on Monday 12 June at the CRUK Cambridge Institute lecture theatre from 9.00-17.00, followed by drinks and a barbecue
