Why does cancer disproportionately affect LGBTQIA+ people? We spoke to Dr Alison Berner (Alison May Berner 👩🏻‍⚕️🏳️‍🌈🧬👩🏻‍🔬) this #PrideMonth to explore the inequalities the community faces and how her research is breaking barriers. bartscancer.london/general-news/2… Queen Mary University of London | Barts and The London, Queen Mary | @CRUKCoLCentre

Today we welcomed Prof Nick Turner from The ICR and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust to give a distinguished guest lecture. Prof Turner presented his work using liquid biopsies to tackle breast cancer heterogeneity. Thanks for a fascinating talk!

Well done Elien 🥳👏🏼
