In Focus

Welcome to The Paterson Institute for Cancer Research



Cells

The Paterson Institute for Cancer Research is a leading cancer research institute within The University of Manchester, core funded by Cancer Research UK, the largest independent cancer research organisation in the world. Applications are now open for our PhD programme starting in September 2010.

The Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC) has been established in The University of Manchester following the transfer of the Paterson Research Institute to the University.

Research spans the whole spectrum of cancer research, from programmes investigating molecular and cellular basis of cancer, to those focussed on translational research and development of therapeutics.
