Scientific Advisory Board, Institute for Cancer Research

The Institute for Cancer Research has from Jan 2021 renewed and rotated its Scientific Advisory Board that provide regular reviews of scientific output, quality and performance and gives advice on research strategy. The SAB consist of six highly distinguished scientists that represent a variety of different scientific backgrounds in basic, translational and clinical cancer research. Collectively, they have a great set of complementary competencies and a long track record of scientific and strategic leadership experience. They are thus very well equipped for evaluating the scientific activity at the institute.
