We're at the forefront of the global fight against cancer, working with incredible researchers and partners across the world to achieve our ambitious vision for a better future.
Our strategy shapes how we'll discover more about the mechanisms of how cancer develops and progresses to unlock new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat it.
Our funding process is supported by an exceptional peer review network, expert panels and committees. With their support, we can identify and support the highest-quality cancer research with the greatest potential to make an impact for people affected by cancer.
We partner with organisations ranging from small cancer specific charities to large multi-national research funders. Together we can accelerate progress and make a real difference for people affected by cancer.
Our equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in research action plan lays out how we’re creating an inclusive and diverse community and tackling systemic issues like underrepresentation and racial bias through the research we fund.
We want our research to be as impactful as possible. To achieve this, we’re committed to involving people affected by cancer in our work and in the research that we fund.
Our long-term investment in critical infrastructure has helped create a thriving network of research across the UK. These facilities provide research and translational capabilities and support close partnerships with universities and the NHS.
Our Centre for Drug Development (CDD) partners with biotechs, pharmaceutical companies and academics world-wide to deliver early-phase clinical trials, accelerating the next generation of cancer treatments to patients.
Cancer Research Horizons is our translational arm. It works closely with researchers, industry partners and investors to translate cutting-edge innovations into new tools, treatments and diagnostics for people affected by cancer.
We host scientific conferences, workshops, webinars and other events. Join us to hear about the latest science, present your research and network with our exceptional community.
