Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The Medical Research Council (MRC) is investing #3 million in a nationwide initiative to improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The #50 million initiative, in partnership with Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council and the National Institute for Health Research, will help experts develop new techniques and uses for existing cancer imaging technologies. The MRCs investment is part of the organisations broader, long-term plans to inject funds into imaging and translational research and will help put the UK on track to lead the world in imaging research|
