“The ground-breaking work which happens here in Sheffield has an impact on and addresses some of the world’s biggest challenges – it’s really inspiring.
“I’ve known people who have suffered from many of the conditions the scanner will help to tackle so anything I can do to help develop new therapies and better outcomes for patients is fantastic.”
