The Development Control Forum is organised by the council as an opportunity for local people to give their views. Sir Paul Nurse, who is leading the science planning, the Medical Research Council’s Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, and the UKCMRI interim chief executive John Cooper will be on hand to respond to residents.

We want to explain our plans to local people,” said John Cooper. “and to hear residents’ views so that UKCMRI can take its place within the local community. UKCMRI will bring tangible benefits to the area. Each of the partner organisations involved in UKCMRI: Cancer Research UK, the Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust and UCL (University College London) is committed to working for the public good.
