A new cutting-edge cancer centre dedicated to robotic surgery, cancer imaging and drug discovery has been launched in London.
The Imperial Cancer Research UK Centre will see more than 200 clinicians and scientists from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Imperial College London working together to develop breakthrough treatments for the disease. Cancer Research UK already supports research at Imperial, but is set to increase its contribution to £8 m a year to help develop the centre. The centre will primarily focus on breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer research.
