Have you ever thought about getting involved in research as a patient or supporter?
In this episode, Ellie Wolmark talks to the incredible members of the Women⁺s Cancers Programme Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Group about how they are involved in our research, why they think involvement is so important, and what it means to them to be a part of the group.
Not only do they share their stories and thoughts, but they also offer huge insight into their disease and the research surrounding it. They talk about how they can help and make an impact, not just for themselves and each other, but also for patients of the future. Their involvement is about making things easier, supporting quicker diagnoses, and helping to shape better, more personalised treatments.
The episode is incredibly uplifting. You will hear how empowering they find being part of the group and engaging with research. They are a shining example of how knowledge is power. Their support for one another, and for the researchers through the ups and downs of this disease, gives real hope for a better future.

Kevin Brindle – Reflections on a lifetime in imaging research
Professor Kevin Brindle joins Ellie Wolmark to discuss his life's work in imaging research as he reaches retirement. Kevin is particularly interested in metabolic imaging. His research group has developed novel magnetic resonance-based molecular imaging techniques to detect the early responses of tumours to therapy, with a view to translating these into clinical application. He talks about how he got into this topic in the first place, his amazing contributions to the field over the past four decades, and about how his techniques can be translated into the clinic to impact patient treatment.
Kevin is Emeritus Professor of Biomedical Magnetic Resonance in the Department of Biochemistry and a Senior Group Leader in the CRUK Cambridge Institute at the University of Cambridge, UK. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and of the Royal Society.
