A global Cancer and COVID-19 taskforce has been created by researchers from the School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences.
A global COVID-19 and cancer taskforce was co-developed three months ago using the Research for Health in Conflict partnership by Dr Mieke Van Hemelrijck, Dr Ajay Aggarwal and Professor Richard Sullivan, all from the School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences. The researchers from the School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Institute of Cancer Policy approached colleagues and professionals around the world to understand if there was an appetite for such a group. Once it became apparent that there was, they were able to secure funding from the Global Challenge Research Fund.
