Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive at Cancer Research UK, shared on LinkedIn:
“It was a privilege to be invited to join HRH The King at The Francis Crick Institute, our flagship discovery research institute in London, to mark its 10th anniversary, following the annual Curious at the Crick event on Tuesday.
What makes the Crick so special is not just the quality of its science, but the spirit of collaboration that underpins it. It was great to see so many of the people who helped bring the original vision to life more than a decade ago, and whose ambition and determination helped establish what is now: one of the world’s leading biomedical research institutes.
It was equally inspiring to meet the researchers, clinicians, partners, supporters and funders who are shaping its future. Their work is creating new opportunities to turn discovery into impact, helping us deepen our understanding of diseases like cancer and bring forward the breakthroughs that patients need.
I’m proud of the role that Cancer Research UK has played in the Crick’s impact over 10 years and that we continue to be its largest funder.
A special thanks also to Professor Edith Heard, Patrick Vallance, Charles Swanton, John-Arne Røttingen and the entire Crick team.
We’re proud to stand alongside you and look forward to seeing what the next decade of discovery will bring.”
