Working with Industry

Introduction:

The Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres Network acts as a single point of entry to a UK wide network of scientific and clinical experts to help deliver early-phase innovative trials, driving the development of cancer treatments of tomorrow. We have access to a pan-age patient population through our integration with the NHS.

By 2022, Cancer Research UK, the National Institute of Health Research in England and the Health Departments for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will have invested over £100m in the ECMC network's research infrastructure to support the delivery of trials. 

What can the ECMC Network offer Industry?

  • Scientific and operational expertise which includes First in Human, immunotherapy, liquid biopsy, precision medicine and innovative combination therapy models​
  • Protocol development, feasibility and site placement offering through our streamlined process, including patient referral capabilities ​
  • A broad pan-age patient population​
