The LDCRC is delighted to see Principal Investigator Dr Clodagh Scannell featured in the session, "What can food, culture, community and health teach us about cancer prevention and wellbeing?", as part of the ECHoS (Establishing Cancer Mission Hubs: Beyond Networks and Synergies) event.

During the discussion, Dr Scannell emphasized the importance of evidence-based nutrition in cancer prevention, highlighting how informed dietary choices can contribute to reducing cancer risk while supporting overall health and wellbeing. The session explored the intersection of food, culture, community and public health, demonstrating how these factors can influence cancer prevention strategies and population wellbeing.

Dr Scannell's contribution reflects the growing recognition of nutrition as a key component of cancer prevention and risk reduction, and the importance of translating research evidence into practical guidance for individuals and communities.
