LDCRC UPDATE FEBRUARY 2023 It is now 15 months since we launched the LDCRC and we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved in that short time. We have attracted over 5 million euros in research funding and have published 15 articles. We are especially proud to publish two publications which are collaborative projects between LDCRC members (Clifford/Ryan, Jalali/Brown). With your continued energy, we hope to build on our seeds of success and grow cancer research through joint initiatives with UL and UHL with the goal of improving the lives of those who suffer from cancer. We are excited to introduce you to Eimear Scully (Eimear.Scully@ul.ie), the new senior administrator of the LDCRC, please contact her with your news and updates, which we hope to provide in a monthly update to LDCRC members, collaborators, and friends in Limerick. We also hope to create a newsletter for national distribution to highlight our success to our national collaborators and partners. Management Board (2021-2022) Prof Aedin Culhane, Prof Ruth Clifford, Prof Paul Murray, Dr Pat Kiely, Prof Alan Donnelly.
