This theme is addressed by all divisions within the Faculty, covering the full spectrum of cancer research from the molecular events that underpin its development to the management of care of those with life-limiting illnesses.

This interdisciplinary approach enables more comprehensive insights, so we can offer more effective interventions to improve the ageing process.

我们的 生物医学工作 improves understanding of the cellular and molecular biology of cancer.
