  1. From Bench to Bedside...

    The Birmingham Cancer Research Centre is a partnership between Cancer Research UK, the University of BirminghamUniversity Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Birmingham Children's Hospital Foundation Trust. The Centre brings together world-class scientists, doctors and nurses based in the region to translate new lab based discoveries into improved patient care. We are now being invited into their world as staff at the centre post photos showing us what "a day in the life" of the Birmingham Cancer Research Centre looks like.
