Our Vision
Uniting science and driving clinical excellence to create a cancer free future
The MCRC is a world-leading research partnership founded by The University of Manchester, Cancer Research UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, and is responsible for driving a consistent and integrated strategy for cancer research and innovation in Manchester. Our vision is grand, our mission bold, but our resolution to achieve our goal is firm.
The MCRC has a vision that by uniting science and driving clinical excellence we will create a future free from the burden of cancer.
Precision medicine for all
In order to achieve our vision, we need to ensure precision treatments and medicines are equitable and embrace the diversity of our entire population. The MCRC will lead in the development of precision prevention and early detection and precision medicine strategies that enable cancer to be identified earlier and curative treatments to be delivered to everyone.
Our aim is to unite science and clinical care by leveraging our synergistic, team-building experience, to break down research silos and enable interdisciplinary and inter-organisational collaboration.
By enabling out-of-the-box thinking and creating opportunities for collaboration, we can unite and translate the basic and discovery scientific innovations performed in state-of-the-art laboratories with novel patient treatments that change lives and influence clinical practice.
Pioneering Impactful Research
As a world-leading cancer research partnership, we have influenced clinical practice in the UK and across the world, changing the lives of people affected by cancer.
We empower the next-generation of cancer leaders, and champion cross discipline science that offers individuals the opportunities to excel and become the future cancer research leaders.
Our vision is possible in Manchester, benefiting from the close partnership between The University of Manchester, Cancer Research UK, and The Christie, alongside our affiliated trusts Manchester University and Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trusts all set within the unique Manchester devolved healthcare system.
Through uniting the best and brightest academic minds with the world-class, state-of-the-art facilities in Manchester, we will create a cancer free future.
