As a non-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of our donors and supporters to:

• fund new buildings and equipment for research
• invest in start-up research teams
• support the training of the cancer research leaders of the future

Developing personalised treatments for cancer is at the very heart of the ICR’s strategy and our scientists and clinicians are at the forefront of research in this field.

Our current funding priorities are:

• the new Centre for Cancer Imaging to speed up the development of new cancer treatments and assess their effectiveness without the need for surgery
• equipment to create a Tumour Profiling Unit, to enhance our understanding of tumour cells. This will allow us to take a more personalised approach to diagnosis and treatment
• funding for PhD students, to enable them to perfect their skills under the guidance of the world’s best cancer scientists, and increase the impact of their own research

We are extremely grateful to the many thousands of individuals and organisations who have already helped us in our mission to make the discoveries that defeat cancer. Read some of their stories here.
