In 2015 with help from patients, innovators and the scientific community, Cancer Research UK's advisory panel set seven Grand Challenges that, if tackled, would significantly accelerate progress in cancer research. With the generous support of partners and donors earlier this year CRUK announced £71M funding for four of these remarkable international teams.
