Our research structure
The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre is one of seven CRUK Centres across the UK. We are a vital research hub drawing together expertise, encouraging collaborative research, and bridging the gap between innovative laboratory work and patient benefit. The combination of scientific excellence across a range of disciplines within the University, the high concentration of world-class biomedical laboratories across Cambridge, and the high quality of clinical practice at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and Royal Papworth Hospital ensures we are driving innovative cancer research to improve outcomes for patients.
