Cancer Research UK Cancer Therapeutics Unit
From bench to bedside
The Cancer Research UK Cancer Therapeutics Unit is a unique academic drug discovery and development group. Its mission is to discover and develop novel and effective therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Our aims are:
- To identify and validate novel genes and pathways as targets for therapeutic intervention in cancer
- To implement innovative technologies for drug discovery and development
- By these means, to discover novel mechanism-based drugs and to develop these as rapidly as possible from the laboratory bench through to hypothesis-testing early clinical trials
- To develop novel gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapies
- As a result, to contribute to the improved treatment of human cancers
