The institutes are home to more than 160 research groups working across all areas of cancer science, supported by state-of-the-art facilities.
They have a key role in training the next generation of researchers and supporting the translation of their research to improve outcomes for people affected by cancer.
Our institutes’ core facilities provide cutting-edge technology platforms and associated technical expertise. These include transgenics and genome editing, advanced imaging and microscopy, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, spatial biology, single-cell analysis and scientific computing.
If you're a researcher funded by us based outside of an institute and interested in accessing their available technologies or facilities, contact the respective location for opportunities to collaborate.
Our Scotland Institute carries out world-class research on cancer cell behaviour, aiming to translate these discoveries into new therapies, diagnostics and tools to help cancer patients.
Our Cambridge Institute leverages their local research networks’ scientific expertise to address challenges in cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The Institute focuses on translating high-quality basic research into practical applications to improve outcomes for patients.
Research at our Manchester Institute, part of the University of Manchester, covers a wide range of topics, from exploring the molecular and cellular basis of cancer, to the translation and development of new biomarkers and therapeutics.
We support over 100 research groups at the Francis Crick Institute, the largest biomedical research Institute in Europe. By bringing together experts from various fields, the Institute drives innovation in cancer research. Their work focuses on developing more effective ways to prevent and treat all cancer types.
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.
