Welcome

We are very pleased to invite you to the Association for Radiation Research meeting for 2022. After the last two unprecedented years, we are delighted to hold this as a face to face meeting again. This offers a fantastic platform to foster further collaborations both within and outside the CRUK RadNet consortium and the wider radiation research community in the UK. As usual the meeting will include sessions covering the whole spectrum of radiation research from basic science through to translational and clinical studies. It will be a great opportunity to hear from the experts and network with others in the field at the sessions and during our planned social events. Please note there will be specific support for attendance and involvement of Scientists in Training.

We welcome you to the fantastic city of London and look forward to seeing you there!
