Christopher's Smile fund new ICR scientist
Christopher's Smile have funded the appointment of a researcher dedicated to paediatric cancers, enabling children participating in clinical trials to receive more targeted treatment. Their donations will also enable us to acquire a specialised microscope to aid this research.
Centre for Cancer Imaging campaign launches with £2m pledge
We are extremely grateful to the Wolfson Foundation – renowned for its generous support for excellence in research - for kick-starting our £10m campaign with an award of up to £2m.
The six-storey building will house 130 researchers and an array of the most advanced imaging equipment to help us look inside a cancer and more completely understand how it works and how it is responding to potential treatments.
Special Events
The ICR hosted a successful autumn programme of special events, including the Ladies Breakfast and Shopping Event at Harvey Nichols and the Launch of the Discovery Club at the Science Museum.
The ICR's annual Carols from Chelsea took place on 4 December, and has raised over £100,000.
