Pancreatic Cancer UK’s Research in Scotland: Changing the future of pancreatic cancer
28th March 2022 via Zoom
People with pancreatic cancer desperately need earlier diagnosis, new treatments and better support, and Pancreatic Cancer UK is committed to transforming the outcomes for people diagnosed with the disease.
We know that these life-saving developments will not happen without innovative thinking. And that is happening right here right now in Scotland.
In this event, we shared our research in Scotland to date, and our exciting plans and ambitions for pancreatic cancer research in the future. Attendees had the opportunity to meet the researchers themselves, who provided an insight into the aims of their projects, and the impact they could have. And they heard from some of the people who make this work possible, from our funding partners to our Research Involvement Network.
