Overview
Our annual Scientific Reports detail the activities of each research group, describing their publications and research projects for the year. It also contains information about technical and operational activities and our funding streams.
The latest Scientific Report highlighted how the Institute became fully settled and positioned to maximise the potential of being based on the site of the Christie NHS Foundation Trust with a wealth of opportunities to collaborate and drive transformational cancer research. We also celebrated the formal opening of the Paterson Building in July with special guests and all our colleagues and contributors.
