The Cambridge Cancer Centre is a network of around 500 researchers and clinicians working on the detection, treatment and prevention of cancer. The core partners are Cancer Research UK, the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. By working with nearly 150 research groups based in different departments and institutes across Cambridge, the Centre aims to enable scientific collaboration across disciplines, to encourage the translation of scientific discoveries into clinical applications, and to educate and support the next generation of cancer scientists.
