My Breakthrough
The summer edition of Purple Online
Breakthrough Breast Cancer has made huge strides in working towards faster diagnosis, better treatment and prevention of breast cancer and many of these successes have come about thanks to the amazing work being carried out by our scientists at the Breakthrough Toby Robins Breast Cancer Research Centre.
One recent very special achievement was the announcement that our Research Centre Director, Professor Alan Ashworth, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. This is the highest accolade a British scientist can achieve – outside of the Nobel Prize – and is normally only awarded to scientists late on in their career, so this really is an incredible achievement. You can read more about Alan’s recognition within the features section of Purple online.
Our breast cancer research is not just confined to the Breakthrough Research Centre in London. We are extending our reach by opening new Breast Cancer Research Units in Edinburgh, London and Manchester respectively. We were honoured to have our Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales officially open our new Breast Cancer Research Unit in Edinburgh in June.
It is thanks to your generous support that we are able to make such ground-breaking developments in our vital scientific research work. And it is this research that we believe is moving us closer towards our vision of a future free from the fear of breast cancer.
Yours sincerely,
Ned Collier
