| Dear Voornaam
Do you support or deliver clinical research in the UK? We’d like to understand your experience working in clinical research, how recovery from the pandemic is affecting research, and learn more about other challenges and barriers to research that you encounter.
Your insights will shape the policy calls in our Manifesto for Cancer Research and Care, which we’ll publish later this year. These will influence political decision-makers and policy debates ahead of the next general election to and help us make the case for greater support for clinical research.
Share your thoughts by 9 August. |

 EXPLORE THE LINK BETWEEN ANCIENT VIRAL DNA AND CANCER Ancient viral DNA makes up an estimated 42% of our genome.
Writing on our Cancer News site, George Kassiotis from the Francis Crick Institute highlights the chequered past of retrotransposable elements, their role and the link between endogenous retroviruses and cancer.
