Welcome

DCU Cancer Research is a multidisciplinary cross campus research network set up to contribute to the progression of world leading research and clinical discoveries in the cancer field. Our mission is to transform the lives of those affected by cancer, which we aim to achieved by focusing on five key research themes:

1. Cancer Biology
2. Drug Discovery
3. Detection and Biomarkers
4. Survivorship
5. Psycho-Oncology

What sets us apart

Our vision is to advance cancer research through a translational approach promoting improved patient outcomes and quality of life. 

DCU cancer research brings together academic, clinical and industrial partners in a unique translational approach to promote new advances in the areas of cancer biology, therapeutic development, drug resistance, diagnostics, biomarkers and patient quality of life.

Through our cross campus multi-disciplinary approach we provide world class expertise in many areas of cancer research from basic cancer biology, as well as drug discovery and development, bioinformatics, tissue engineering, through to health and psyco-ongology.

As a collaborative community we have a track record of world-leading cancer research, disseminated across numerous high impact factor journals and presented at conferences on the national and international stage. Together, DCU cancer research has amassed millions of Euro in grant funding.
