Cancer Research @UCC is a translational cancer research centre within the College of Medicine & Health, University College Cork. Our goal is to improve cancer outcomes and save lives through integration of innovative preclinical and clinical cancer research, alongside provision of high-quality training opportunities in research. Our centre is also the academic home of the HRB-supported UCC Cancer Trials Group and the UCC arm of the Blood Cancer Network of Ireland (BCNI).
Originally founded in 1999 as the Cork Cancer Research Centre by the late Professor Gerald O’Sullivan, our centre was renamed Cancer Research @UCC in 2018. Professor Roisin Connolly assumed the role of the Professor Gerald O’Sullivan Chair in Cancer Research and Director of Cancer Research @UCC in 2019.
Our biomedical research efforts are currently focused on several critical areas, including cancer biology (autophagy & cell death), the microbiome, synthetic biology, precision oncology clinical trials, and cancer outcomes research.
During the tour, you will have the unique opportunity to:
- Explore our state-of-the-art research facilities.
- Interact with our dedicated research teams.
- Gain insights into groundbreaking projects that shape the future of cancer research.
After the tour, we invite you to join us for refreshments and an opportunity to engage with our researchers. This is a chance to ask questions, exchange ideas, and gain a deeper understanding of our research.
