Cancer Research UK Cardiff Centre

The Cardiff Cancer Research UK Centre will help set the pace for national and international progress in genetics and cancer biomarkers. University researchers and partners at Velindre NHS Trust, Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust, Cardiff University and Cancer Research UK aim to make the Centre a world leader in developing treatments tailored to individual cancer patients. The approach is based on understanding the biology of the disease and how that varies among patients. The Centre will focus on the biology and treatment of bowel, breast and urological cancers and leukaemia, and will work on how to make sure cancer is detected earlier. Working with WORD – the Welsh Office of Research and Development in health and social care – researchers at the centre will also focus on better understanding how to prevent cancer. It will draw on the expertise of basic scientists, translational scientists, clinicians and research nurses. http://cardiffcancercollaborative.com/
