Research in the School of Cancer Sciences

Research within the School of Cancer Sciences offers unparalleled opportunities for both basic and translational research on human cancers within six defined areas of excellence: Cancer Cell Biology, Genome Stability, Structural Biology and Biomarkers, Tumour Immunology and Viral Oncology. Under these headings the School delivers world-class research on both model organisms and humans, translating results into new treatments in our world-leading Clinical Trials Unit.


All of this is underpinned by a research infrastructure which includes centralised tissue banking as well as access to cutting edge facilities and technologies in the College Technology Hub.  


The School of Cancer Sciences also  provides leadership of the Cancer Research UK Centre bringing together other major cancer research programmes from across the University, for example in Angiogenesis, Cancer Epidemiology, Inflammation, and  Cancer Genetics.


There is also a vibrant research seminar programme which  frequently hosts leaders in the field and workshops which provide regular opportunities for lively discussion and debate.
