Patient Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE)
Insight and Engagement Team
At VIVO Biobank, we believe the lived experiences of those affected by childhood, teenage or young adult cancer, whether as patients, survivors, parents, family members or friends, bring powerful insight that guides our work and helps us communicate more clearly and effectively with the communities we serve.
That’s why we’ve formed our PPIE group: a dedicated group of individuals who work with us to ensure that the voices of those most impacted by cancer are central to the direction and development of the biobank.
Our PPIE members help us:
- Shape the long-term strategy and priorities of the VIVO Biobank
- Raise awareness and visibility of our work within the CYP (children, young people, and young adult) cancer community and beyond
- Provide insight into how we can grow the number and diversity of samples we collect, and how we can make sure those samples are used to support meaningful research
Each member brings a unique and valuable perspective, helping us build a biobank that’s grounded in real experience and aligned with the needs of the wider community.
We’re committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment. We actively encourage people from all backgrounds to join us—regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, or belief. We know that a diversity of voices leads to stronger outcomes.
Interested in joining our Insight and Engagement Team?
We’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re a survivor, a parent, or someone with a personal connection to childhood cancer, your perspective can help shape the future of research.
