Oxford Cancer

Oxford Cancer is a city-wide network and partnership between Oxford University and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust based on the University’s Translational Biomedical Research Campus. It harnesses Oxford’s world-leading cancer research from across disciplines, with the core aim of facilitating collaboration on a local, national and international scale to ensure rapid translation from scientific discovery to treatments for patients. The DPhil in Cancer programme delivered by Oxford Cancer provides research-based doctoral training for cancer researchers from clinical, biological, engineering, mathematics and statistics backgrounds. It is unique and distinctive in offering integrated training across the following themes: Immuno-Oncology;Cancer Big Data;Novel Therapeutics;Early Cancer Detection.

Radcliffe Department of Medicine

The Radcliffe Department of Medicine (RDM) in the University of Oxford is a large multi-disciplinary department with research interests that span the translational spectrum – from basic biology through to clinical application. It’s mission is to improve health through cross-disciplinary research to understand shared mechanisms of disease and to accelerate the transition from scientific discovery to clinical care. RDM is committed to training the next generation of scientists in biological and clinical sciences.
