Oncology aims to develop new treatments for cancer by undertaking research at the interface between laboratory and clinic. The division is focusing on this and brings together scientists and clinicians with a broad range of expertise, including cell and molecular biology, immunology and clinical cancer medicine. The basic oncology research encompasses the tumour-immune interface, the way cancer spreads and the mechanisms by which tumours overcome damage induced by anti-cancer treatments. Those who take up a postgraduate research opportunity with us will not only receive support in terms of close contact with supervisors and specific training related to students area of research, they will also benefit from dedicated careers advice from our Careers and Employability Service.
