Newcastle
The vision of the Newcastle ECMC is to develop new treatments for cancer patients where biomarkers are included early in the development pathway so that the right patients are treated with the right drugs and side effects are avoided in patients unlikely to respond. The Centre has PET and MRI imaging facilities and pharmacology and pharmacodynamic assessment laboratories.
