The Sussex Cancer Research Centre

has launched

The new Sussex Cancer Research Centre, combines the world-class cancer research being carried out by experts at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, University of Brighton, University of Sussex and in the NHS for the first time.  

The groundbreaking centre aims to provide an environment where researchers, clinicians, and patients can share resources, insight, experience and expertise to improve cancer treatments and patient outcomes.

The centre is not just about cells, molecules, proteins, it’s not just about us being objects, clients, subjects, patients, it’s about real people living with real disease.

— Professor Melanie Flint (Co-Director)
Our central goal is improved patient outcomes through supporting world-leading collaborative research.
— Professor Timothy Humphrey (Co-Director)
