Sara is our director of cancer intelligence, early diagnosis and clinical engagement. She joined Cancer Research Campaign, a forerunner of Cancer Research UK, in 2000 as a science information officer.

Sara has also built our international collaborations, including the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership.
