Research
The Centre comprises two divisions – Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and Experimental Cancer Medicine – each with its own Director and research focus. Strong emphasis is placed on the value of collegiality and investigators meet monthly to discuss specific topics and grant submissions. The Heads of the Divisions report to the CCRCB Directorate Board. Research activities in the Centre are promoted and monitored by the CCRCB Directorate and Strategy Group, chaired by the Scientific Director, and future research initiatives are discussed and developed. External monitoring of research is the responsibility of a Scientific Advisory Board. This expert panel carries out site visits, reviews progress and provides advice on strategy and overall direction.
