New Scanner a ‘Game Changer’ for breast cancer research
The exceptional corporate partnership that was formed between the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), supported by CÚRAM, Research Ireland Centre for Medical Devices and the University of Galway - College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, has enabled the installation of a cutting-edge multiplex imaging scanner at the Lambe Institute, part of University of Galway.
“This is a ‘Game Changer”, says Director of Research at NBCRI, Professor Michael Kerin. “The scanner enables detailed analysis of individual cells within tumours, including those that may drive metastasis or express key markers that can inform more effective treatment strategies. The purchase of this equipment is a tremendous example of the strength of collaboration, demonstrating how organisations and corporate partnerships such as HPE can make a truly life-changing difference for patients.”
The purchase of this machine, the first in the country, really shows what can be achieved when corporate partnerships, such as HPE and NBCRI develop and make a life changing difference for patients.
The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is a national charity that funds a comprehensive research programme at University of Galway.
Research has improved the diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes for those who develop breast cancer. The charity funds these research programmes to continue to impact the outcomes for those who develop the disease.
