Image Charlie Gourley, Neil Carragher, Elizabeth Patton and Steven Pollard Vision Our vision is to translate innovative, scientific findings into patient benefit. We bring together multidisciplinary researchers and clinicians to generate a deep understanding of cancer biology to address some of the biggest challenges in improving outcomes for people with cancer. We aim to develop a translational pipeline where fundamental discoveries are fed through preclinical models and trials, and ultimately into the establishment of a clinical research programme.
