King Charles III has paid a visit to the Ulster University Coleraine campus today.
The King met with scientists, researchers and PHD students working on therapeutic systems for cancer.
The visit allowed the King to see the research journey of this technology for concentrated cancer treatment and he was shown the three stages of current research.
His Majesty spoke with students, learning to understand the development of their work and how it is applied in real-world contexts.
The King also visited the NMR Lab, where he joined a reception for those involved in the cancer research journey in Northern Ireland. Speaking with researchers, the King learned more about the work Ulster University is undertaking, and the impact it can have, and meet with health care practitioners who are applying the research in clinical settings.
Before leaving, the King was invited to unveil a plaque marking the visit to the Cancer Research Centre.
This visit follows the King’s visit with Queen Camilla to Limavady this morning, where they paid a visit to Hunters Bakery which recently turned 200 years old.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla met members of staff, some of whom have worked there for over 40 years, as well as getting to take part in a demonstration of the production of Ulster Scots Crumpets.
The royal couple also met with locals in the Market Square community, which is described as the ‘throbbing heart’ of the area.
