CRUK Cambridge Centre: Training Programme

Welcome to the Twitter account for the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre Graduate Training Programme. Follow us for up-to-date news about our current cohort of research students and available studentships.

Out of respect for the Queen and the Royal Family, we won’t be posting on our channels for the coming days. We’ll still be monitoring our feeds and replying to anyone who may have questions about cancer or concerns related to our cause. (2/2)

We are saddened to hear about the death of Her Majesty the Queen. As @CR_UK's Patron, she kindly supported the charity over the years, opening laboratories and institutes which are integral to CRUK’s pioneering work into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. (1/2)

Really looking forward to this event on Friday 22nd July

Studentships here: findaphd.com/phds/program/4…

We also have an exciting studentship supported from ACED and @CRUKCamEarlyDx Details here: crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/content/cruk-i… Applications open tomorrow!

Exciting times here, as we are 24 hours away from the CRUK CC 2021 non-clinical and clinical applications opening. Details here: crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/studentships (non-clinical) and here: crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/education-and-… (clinical) @CRUKCambridge @CRUKCamCentre

Extremely proud that our 2019 MRes cohort have all passed and are now embarking on their PhDs. They worked so hard and didn’t let COVID-19 slow their progress. The applications for 2021’s MRes studentships are open on Thursday. Apply now to be part of something exciting.

Very much looking forward to our new students starting next week. We have a mix of MRes, PhD, Clinical PhD and MB-PhD. It’s going to be another exciting year @CRUKCamCentre

Spread the word!

These smiley exhausted lovely people are one of 4 groups of scientists who volunteered at the #COVID19 testing facility in Cambridge for the past 3mo. It has been a privilege to share this unforgettable experience with them all! Together we processed HALF A MILLION samples! 1/2
