Research is not a solo effort. It takes teamwork. It takes belief. It takes collaboration. We know what it takes to beat blood cancer, and so does @Dr_AhlamQ, whose work is funded by @bloodcancer_uk @BloodCancer_Res grant co-led by Lisa & @LetiziaM24 #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth
Recent nice weather called for a social outing of the LEGEND group, filled with fun, sport and a MUST stop for ice-cream by the coast. We also had our first lab retreat at Cockle Farm, featuring good scientific discussions and a visit by our @The_MRCcollaborators from Edinburgh💫
