The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute aims to link the laboratory to the clinic with a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to cancer research. Our researchers focus on basic research into the cellular and molecular biology of cancer, molecular imaging, bioinformatics, computational biology, translational research on specific cancer sites, and clinical investigations including clinical trials. Our location near Addenbrooke’s Hospital facilitates collaboration between our researchers and clinicians, and the Institute regularly hosts scientific meetings and conferences where ideas are shared and discussed.  We are delighted to be able to provide a forum for young people to take part in the lively, interesting and informative debates that are an integral part of Debating Matters.
