The Francis Crick Institute (The Crick) conducts cutting-edge medical research to help find radical solutions to treat diagnose and prevent major illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Their strategy has received wide-spread recognition, and the 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Crick Emeritus scientist Thomas Lindahl FRS, has provided fundamental knowledge for the development of new cancer treatments. The Crick is a unique partnership between six of the UK’s most successful scientific institutions: the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Wellcome Trust, UCL (University College London), Imperial College London and King’s College London.
On Wednesday 30 March 2016, SCI’s Public Evening Lecture will invite us behind the scenes of The Francis Crick Institute. The lecture will be delivered by Sir Paul Nurse, Director of the Francis Crick Institute. Sir Paul, a former Nobel Prize winner and former President of the Royal Society, was integral to the establishment of The Crick. He will talk about The Francis Crick Institute and the cutting edge work being delivered to diagnose and prevent illnesses.
