Last week we had the exciting news of £47.5 million funding, thx to a partnership between @CR_UK @NIHRresearch and @LPTrustUK, for the UK's network of Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres (ECMCs).

But what are ECMCs, where are they being funded and how will they help? A quick🧵

[The University of Manchester @OfficialUoM]

Major funding for Manchester will help find new cancer treatments.

@ECMC_Manchester will receive the major funding investment of up to £3m over the next five years, providing future hope for people diagnosed with the disease.
