The CRCE website is currently under development and further details about CRCE activities will be updated in due course.

Membership expression of interest

To increase awareness of the potential expertise and resources available for cancer research across the partnership and to establish a conduit by which to inform researchers about opportunities, the CRCE Board wishes to collate information from researchers across the partnership who would like to get involved and benefit from the CRCE.

Researchers from across Imperial and the ICR are therefore invited to submit the following Expression of Interest form, which will enable:

• the CRCE Board to create a mailing list in relation to future CRCE events and initiatives
• development of a directory of CRCE expertise and resources.
