They say that a ‘picture is worth a thousand words’, and with that Cancer Research KI would like to see all the great research that is being conducted within our community here at KI by our junior and senior researchers- and what better way to do that than with an image. The winning creation from this competition will be used as the banner on the organisation´s webpage; so, this is a pretty big deal!
