Cork Cancer Research Centre: A Decade of Discovery... A Decade of Delivery

The Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC) is a multidisciplinary organisation that investigates major issues that concern the genesis, progression or treatment of cancer. Its purpose is to provide discovery and innovations that may be applied to the prevention of the cancer in the first place or to the development of more effective treatment strategies. Its foundation was based on the unshakeable belief that the cancer questions can be resolved and that in Cork we could create the capability to make significant contributions.

Cancer research is a continuum from basic investigation through to clinical application. In our Centre we foster such an environment where:

•there is an interactive atmosphere conducive to collaboration between investigators of differing skills and profession;
•we have the human and technological resources to provide high standard penetrating research;
•inquiry and innovation are relevant to knowledge creation and clinical application.

The success of a cancer research facility should extend beyond the measurement of publications or awards. There is the importance of application of research developments to patients. The patient story shown on this film piece eloquently describes the significance of one such development.

We invite you to watch this film piece and to share in our progress. Through the commitment of our staff and collaborators, the continued support of our volunteers, donors and funding agencies, we will truly improve cancer care.
