Organisation profile
Cancer research at Bristol is a vibrant cross-disciplinary community whose mission is to successfully translate basic biology cell discoveries into potential treatments for cancer patients.
Our research focuses on core strengths in cancer cell biology, genetic and lifecourse epidemiology and health services research. In partnership with Bristol NHS Trusts and the University of West of England (UWE), our research encompasses a broad spectrum of activities from increasing our fundamental understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of cancer, to cancer screening, genetic epidemiology, and health services research.
