Cardiff ECMC

Cardiff ECMC aims to develop biomarkers, novel therapeutic approaches to cancer treatment and expand tissue banking. The Centre has a particular focus on acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and conducts pre-clinical testing of novel agents that could lead to new treatments for the disease. Another focus area is translating knowledge of molecular pathways into biomarkers for breast cancer.

Clinical Focus Area

  • Testing novel therapies for AML and CLL
  • Biobanking for clinical trials
  • Pathology
  • Mutational analysis in AML, colorectal and prostate cancer
  • PD markers in support of NCRI Group AML Trials

Scientific Focus Area

  • Pre-clinical identification and testing of  novel agents for AML
  • In vitro models of endocrine resistance in breast cancer
  • Maintenance of the national AML biobank
  • Biomarkers in breast cancer
  • GWAS studies

Disease Focus Area

Breast Colorectal Leukaemia Prostate
