It was great to hear from our CEO at #AACR2025 about how we can develop more effective, targeted therapeutics for children and young people with cancer, bringing more cures to clinic.

Learn more about #CFurther, our consortium with #LifeArc for #CYP cancers: www.c-further.org
This evening it’s the Pediatric Cancer Working Group town hall.

Iain Foulkes will talk about ways to rethink and reshape drug development for children and young people's cancers.

Come along to collaborate, share insights and chart ways forward to drive progress.
