About us
The Cancer Studies Research Group is based at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in the suburb of Withington, three miles from the University campus. This is also the site of the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research and the Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is the largest single-site cancer treatment centre in Europe.
Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC)
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, The University of Manchester, the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research and Cancer Research UK worked in partnership to establish the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC) as part of the Manchester Comprehensive Cancer Network. The MCRC will see a major increase in the cancer research efforts within the Research Group and a major increase in the facilities for such research. MCRC aims to recruit at least ten world-class clinical and non-clinical cancer researchers within the next five years.
The University and Trust continue to develop their strong partnership. For example, the establishment of the new Manchester Comprehensive Cancer Network will help make Manchester a truly formidable player in international cancer research and care. A comprehensive cancer centre provides a wide range of specialist diagnostics and treatments for cancer patients together with laboratory, translational and clinical research.
