We're delighted to share that one of our wonderful volunteers, Louise Griffin, has been nominated for the Community Service and Social Inclusion Award at this year's Mayor's Awards!💗🏆 The Mayor's Awards is a highly esteemed event that acknowledges the selfless efforts of individuals, communities and voluntary groups who give their time and energy to better our community. During COVID, Louise approached us at NBCRI with a fundraising idea inspired by her experience with friends and family being affected by breast cancer. She noticed the growing popularity of sea swimming and its health benefits and worked with NBCRI to create 'Swim in Pink', a community-driven fundraiser for breast cancer research.🏊‍♀️ At NBCRI, we are so fortunate to have so many amazing volunteers. We are always grateful for the opportunity to shine a light on our supporters, they are all winners!✨ The Awards Ceremony takes place this evening, Wednesday 29 April and will be broadcasted live from 7pm ➡️ youtube.com/live/_W-uUB056MA… Wishing Louise the best of luck at tonight's awards ceremony and thank you for all your continued support!👏

Student Support for Breast Cancer Research!💗🎓 Students at ATU Galway-Mayo Students’ Union have selected the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) as their charity partner for the year. The partnership got off to an impressive start earlier in the year, with their Student Raceday at the Galway Races raising €8,442 in support of breast cancer research.✨ As part of ATU Rag Week, which took place at the beginning of February, students organised a wide range of fundraising events. These included a Head Shave/Shave-Off, a Rag Week Fun Run, a Rag Week Basketball Tournament, and a Rag Week 5-a-side football competition. The students are also supporting NBCRI’s Mayo Pink Ribbon Cycle, which will take place in Castlebar over the May Bank Holiday weekend.🚲💕 With many more fundraising activities planned throughout the year, the students are committed to continuing their support for breast cancer research right through to the end of the year. 📸Pictured with Patrick Casey, NBCRI Director of Operations is Thomas Gallagher, ATU SU Galway/Mayo President, Conor Southby, ATU SU Galway/Mayo VP for Welfare and ATU Galway Students.

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 Taighde Éireann-Research Ireland Centre for Medical Devices and the College of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences at University of Galway, 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.
