On 30 January 2007 MPs Tobias Ellwood and Jenny Willott visited a pioneering cancer research laboratory.

They toured laboratories and saw at first hand how basic research, aimed at understanding how normal cells in the body become cancers, is providing a foundation for developing new and more effective ways of preventing and treating the disease.

Tobias and Jenny met with Doctor Nancy Hogg, Head of the Leukocyte Adhesion Lab, who talked about her research, and Richard Davidson, Cancer Research UK’s Director of Policy & Public Affairs who discussed the current issues facing the charity.




















Cancer Research UK is the leading funder of cancer research in the UK. It funds the work of 3,500 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK in more than 35 towns and cities across the UK. The charity employs its own scientists as well as supporting grant-funded researchers in UK universities, medical schools and institutes.
