1/220 people are newly diagnosed with cancer each year;
Almost every department in the University has academics
working on cancer;
Cancer and Oncology is the biggest research area at the
RUH. It is also a major interest at other centres;
Lots of opportunities for networking and collaborative
research;
Research funding is going to centres of excellence.
Mission Statement
‘The CR@B networks mission is to facilitate
interaction between departments and institutes,
multi-disciplinary research and provide excellent
research and training opportunities for its
members. It is also our mission to interact with
