“While at the National Cancer Institute(NCI) last week with Mike Nesbitt, it gave me great pleasure to present a special award on behalf of the All-Island Cancer Research Institute(AICRI) (an all-island coalition of 12 different universities dedicated to cancer research) to Stephen Chanock, Director of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the NCI, for his stellar career in cancer genetics and his unwavering support for the Ireland-Northern Ireland-US National Cancer Institute and cancer research on the island of Ireland.
The special commissioned piece of work, created by artist Vincent Devine captures the history of cancer research on the island of Ireland from the signing of the Ireland-Northern Ireland-US National Cancer Institute Memorandum of Understanding in 1999 (a direct dividend of the Belfast Good Friday Agreement and the brain child of the late great Paddy Johnston) to the creation and activities of the All-Island Cancer Research Institute (AICRI) a unique collaboration of 12 institutions across the island of Ireland, all working together to improve cancer outcomes nationally and internationally, through research and innovation and their implementation.”
