New charity website to engage public in cancer research

[ node.tpl : 'full']

24/10/2012

Cancer Research UK has today launched Cell Slider, the first ever interactive website that will allow the public to delve into real-life cancer data from research archives and speed up lifesaving research, outside of the laboratory.

Dr Richard Francis, Research Manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, comments:

“Cell Slider is a clever new approach to cancer research. There can often be a delay in analysing cancer data from the lab so engaging the public in this way could certainly prove useful. If successful the site may help to accelerate the early stages of cancer research and we will be interested to see what kind of research developments could arise from this initiative.”
