Our staff and postgraduate students work in the Faculty of Medical Sciences or the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences. The Newcastle University Centre for Cancer operates right across the cancer research pathway with strengths ranging from cell biology and clinical trials to healthcare research and cancer research training, including:
understanding the biological differences between normal and malignant cells
understanding the molecular differences between normal and malignant cells
using this knowledge to develop new anti-cancer drugs
We're a major training base for the next generation of cancer researchers. Our Institute covers many areas of cancer research, including:
solid tumours and leukaemias
childhood and adult cancers
drug discovery and early phase clinical trials
