“I am personally committed to enhancing the career opportunities for all our female staff across the organisation. I believe that the actions we take to support women here at the ICR will help us attract and retain the very best scientists across the board. And we will do much better science if everyone – regardless of gender – is supported and encouraged as much as possible throughout their careers. If we fail to realise the full potential of half our workforce we are not only letting women down, but the whole research enterprise too” Professor Paul Workman Chief Executive of The Institute of Cancer Research, London
