Clinical PhD Programme in Cancer Research (360G-Wellcome-203924_Z_16_Z)

£2,565,000

The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), a degree-awarding, independent college of the University of London, proposes to host a Clinical PhD Programme in Cancer Research. The Clinical Fellows appointed to this Programme will be embedded in the highly successful translational research culture of the ICR, and our hospital partner the Royal Marsden Hospital (RM). Clinical Fellows will directly contribute to delivering practice-changing research and will be an integral part of the flow of ideas in both directions between the laboratory and the clinic. The Clinical Fellows will participate in, and learn from, research teams working as parts of global consortia on projects as diverse as understanding cell division, MR-guided radiotherapy, novel drug discovery and development; genome damage and stability and big data approaches. We will continue to maximise opportunities to support the career development of Clinical Fellows on this Programme; build on existing good practice in supporting clinical academics, strengthen the provision of training tools, workshops and mentorship opportunities; and facilitate communication and the establishment of collaborative relationships between ICR and RM clinical researchers at different career stages. The ultimate goal of the Programme is to train, develop and support future international leaders in clinical cancer research.
