HSC R&D Division partners with Cancer Research UK in co-funding the Belfast Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC). Belfast ECMC facilitates effective translational and clinical research in experimental cancer medicine within the Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research (PGJCCR) at Queen's University Belfast and the Northern Ireland Cancer Trials Network within Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
The ECMC in Belfast is one of 17 individual adult centres which form a network of Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres across the UK. The ECMC Network aims to act as an efficient and effective network that will assist in the delivery of early-phase cancer studies between research partners to enable faster and more personalised patient benefit. Through collaboration and teamwork within the community, the ECMC Network aims to bring together world-leading laboratory and patient-based clinical research to build a UK-wide network of clinicians and scientists.
