Developing kinder more effective therapies

Founded through a philanthropic gift from Children with Cancer UK, the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Cancer Institute is the hub for cancer research at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.

The research that takes place here transforms our understanding of the disease in all its forms. It facilitates earlier and quicker diagnosis and monitoring of its progression and contributes to treatments (including in the fields of bio-therapeutics and immunotherapy) that are kinder, better targeted and more effective.

Philanthropy makes a profound impact on the development of these pioneering treatments such as CAR-T cell therapy, which is revolutionising cancer treatment.

The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº CAR T programme

TheÌý¹û¶³Ó°Ôº CAR T-cell programmeÌýis the most comprehensive in Europe, encompassing a broad-ranging portfolio of studies actively recruiting patients with B and T-cell malignancies, myeloma, and neuroblastoma.
