About the MCRC

The MCRC is a unique partnership founded in 2006 by The University of Manchester, Cancer Research UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust. Since its creation, the MCRC partnership has since expanded to encompass cancer research activities across Manchester, driving a consistent, compatible and integrated cancer research strategy with the ultimate aim of creating a future free from the burden of cancer.

Our unique partnership creates the integrated approach essential to progress changes in patient diagnosis and care within the NHS through the Greater Manchester Cancer Plan which covers a population of over three million people.
