Thank you to @wearepreventBC for such an inspiring two days full of world-class science, all focussed on prediction and prevention of breast cancer. Loved the opportunity to present our work in ethnicity-specific risk prediction.

To mark #PostdocAppreciationWeek we have an incoming #postdoc 🥁 The great Eleanor Roberts (@Eleanor_UoM) will be commencing her postdoctoral Research Associate role this October, and we can't wait! Read more about the work she has been involved in 👉 mcrc.manchester.ac.uk/bcan-ray/
Great to spend the day at the Manchester Piccadilly SDA Church Health Expo ‘24 with our wonderful BCAN-RAY Clinical Research Practitioner, Dominique. It was a fantastic opportunity for community outreach regarding cancer signs & symptoms, screening & clinical trial involvement.

We’re delighted to announce that Dr Emma Woodward is our new Children’s Research Lead 👏 This role helps support, facilitate, and grow children's research projects and collaborations across Manchester BRC. Read more about @ER_Woodward's work 👇 mft.nhs.uk/mri/consultant…

The figures we use, are finally being used! @ONS This is very hidden statistic & there is a huge health inequity & health emergency for women… @MCRCnews @METUPUKorg @GM_Cancer @RobClarkeLab @orourkeclaire1 @Goldricck @Debbie_abrahams #gmcc24 #metastaticbreastcancer…
