Charity visits

Local MPs, MSPs and AMs are invited to join Campaign staff, fundraisers and supporters to find out more about the Campaign funded research being carried out in their local Constituency.

Below are some of our recent site visits.

University of Sheffield
The Rt Hon Richard Caborn, MP for Sheffield Central and Minister of State for Sport, met Dr Ingunn Holen and her research team.

The team are working on two of the charity’s research projects based in the Henry Wellcome Laboratory for Medical Research at the University of Sheffield.

Dr Holen’s research involves the study of combining two commonly used chemotherapy drugs with an anti-resorptive drug given to protect bones from erosion caused by the spread of cancer cells. The team has discovered that the order in which these drugs are administered has a significant impact on the survival of breast cancer cells and on tumour growth in the laboratory.
