Join Breakthrough Cancer Research for a behind the scenes tour
You Are Invited!
As an amazing supporter of Breakthrough Cancer Research, we would like to invite you to a Cancer Research Showcase taking place in UCC this Thursday 22nd September, between 5-7pm. This is one of three events taking place around Ireland on the day, and includes a lab tour, interactive session and research expo.
At Breakthrough, we are excited to be working with the passionate team of UCC researchers to showcase their cutting edge cancer research projects, and to give you the chance to go behind the scenes into this state-of-the-art cancer research facility and hear directly from research teams about their exciting and groundbreaking work. You will be able to see first hand the impact of your amazing support.
The focus of this particular evening is on research with Precision Oncology Ireland, in which Breakthrough Cancer Research are funding several projects here in Cork, which aim to develop more personalised treatments for cancer. In fact, this year hundreds of you cycled and supported Team Breakthrough at the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle raising vital funds specifically for our research with Precision Oncology Ireland.
As a supporter of our work we would love for you to see on Thursday. We have not had the opportunity to open the doors to behind the scenes tours like this since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, so for us this one is extra special.
This is a free event but registration is required. Please register now to secure your spot.
Can't make it to Cork, don't worry! Precision Oncology Ireland are running events simultaneously next Thursday 22nd September, starting at 5pm in UCD, Dublin and NUIG, Galway.
A special feature of the Dublin event is the inclusion of the triptych portrait of Vicky Phelan, with the artist in attendance to speak with guests.
Precision Oncology Ireland is a consortium of 5 Irish Universities, 6 Irish Cancer Research Charities, and 7 international companies aiming to develop new diagnostics and therapeutics for personalised cancer treatment. This consortium is part-funded by Science Foundation Ireland under their Strategic Partnership Programme, and is co-ordinated by Systems Biology Ireland.
