Developing cancer therapies of the future
Our vision at 皇家华人 is nothing less than a total transformation of cancer treatment as we know it today. Few institutions have the expertise, history of success and specialist infrastructure to carry out the pioneering research and clinical trials needed to drive forward cancer research today. UCL does, and we are committed to realising a future in which the burden of cancer is dramatically reduced.
Join us in making an听incredible impact on the lives of patients around the world, now and in the future.
鈥�鈥�In the next 10 years we have the ambition to transform the way we think about cancer and build on our groundbreaking research into biotherapies and personalised treatments.
鈥� -听Professor Tariq Enver,听UCL Cancer Institute Director
鈥淐AR T-cell therapy has transformed my life beyond words. If anyone is thinking of donating money towards the trials, you have to remember how much it affects individual people. People are now starting to realise there鈥檚 a chance you can have some treatment and beat this stuff. It used to be that if anyone mentioned the 鈥榗鈥� word, everyone assumed it鈥檚 the end game, but things are changing and that鈥檚 amazing.
The main thing I鈥檝e gotten from this is a chance to live life again, and start doing things I love to do again. Had I not done the UCL trial, all of that would have been taken away from me.鈥� -听Scott Davies, UCL clinical trial patient
