A new research centre that will transform cancer treatment has opened in Manchester.

The University of Manchester building in Withington will be home to researchers from the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC) - a partnership between Cancer Research UK, The University of Manchester and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

The state-of-the-art facility — set within a contemporary landscape that provides an attractive setting for the new building — provides space for around 250 staff and more than 6,000m2 for expansion of research activity, designed to maximise the sharing of ideas and collaborations between scientists and clinicians.
