A brand new pioneering centre dedicated to improving cancer treatment and patient outcomes has opened in Sussex.
The Sussex Cancer Research Centre (SCRC), draws on the world-class cancer research from experts at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), University of Brighton, University of Sussex and in the NHS. 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 team behind the centre say that the venture represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver significant improvements in care for cancer patients and drive further improvements in the life-chances of those diagnosed with cancer – putting people at the forefront of their research
The four co-founders of the centre are: Dr Simon Mitchell, Reader in Cancer Systems Biology at BSMS; Professor Melanie Flint, Professor of Stress and Cancer Research at the University of Brighton; Professor Timothy Humphrey, Professor of Translational Research and Genome Stability at the University of Sussex; and Clinical Oncologist Dr Duncan Gilbert of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.
