SalaryAbout us
The CRUK City of London (CoL) Centre was established in 2018 as a partnership between University College London, King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London, and The Francis Crick Institute. The Centre’s mission is to transform cancer outcomes through effective biological therapies. The Centre aims to develop and implement effective biological cancer therapies based on deep understanding of tumour origins, evolution, and response to intervention, increasing treatment options and transforming outcomes in adult and paediatric cancers. We explore the mechanisms and efficacy of biotherapy alongside other modalities, including sophisticated radiotherapy, and treatment protocols supported by earlier detection and diagnosis, increasing the chance of long-term survival. This partnership will expand clinical trials within the populations of both UCL Partners and the King’s Health Partnership, which together cover approximately 10 million (15%) of the UK population.
