ECMC Manchester

Manchester ECMC aims to expand and develop its experimental cancer medicine portfolio in areas such as radiotherapy, proteomics, metabolomics and imaging. The Centre has an active early phase (phase I/II) clinical trial programme in various cancer types, with related biomarkers studies, which aim to inform treatment decisions and monitor the effectiveness of therapies.

Research Areas

Aims and Focus

  • Increase the number and quality of early phase clinical trials
  • Develop informative biomarkers (discovery, optimisation, validation, pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamics (PD), biological effective dose)
  • Develop and validate generic indicators of tumour apoptosis and anti-angiogenesis
  • Develop clinical proteomics/metabolomics
  • Conduct early phase Clinical Immunology trials and translational PD
  • Develop, integrate and expand imaging methodologies in preclinical models and early clinical trials
  • Increase capability to deliver targeted radiotherapies
  • Develop radiogenomics and image guided radiotherapy
  • Integrate GCLP compliant Laboratory QA systems into early clinical trials

Disease areas    

Relevant to all types of cancer.
