We occupy state-of-the-art laboratories and provide exceptional core facilities, including next generation sequencing, mass-spectrometry, advanced imaging, bioinformatics, histology, and flow cytometry. We are core-funded by Cancer Research UK (http://www.cancerresearchuk.org), the world's largest cancer organisation, are an Institute of The University of Manchester (http://www.manchester.ac.uk), and are juxtaposed to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (http://www.christie.nhs.uk), one of the largest cancer treatment centres in Europe. These factors combine to provide an exceptional environment in which to pursue basic, translational and clinical research programmes in a vibrant and dynamic city surrounded by beautiful countryside and with excellent national and international transport links.
