Research prize winners announced at NCRI
Monday 8 November 2010
The winners of Cancer Research UK's three inaugural research prizes were announced yesterday at the NCRI Cancer Conference 2010 in Liverpool.
The quality of nominations for each prize was very high, and the selection panel which comprised international cancer experts, thought that the winners were exceptional candidates for the prize and deserved recognition for their achievements.
In a presentation ceremony hosted by Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK and Professor Sir David Carter, chair of the prizes selection panel, the winning scientists were presented with a commemorative trophy and an honorarium.
