Welcome to the Northern Institute for Cancer Research (NICR)
The NICR is the focus of research excellence in cancer studies at Newcastle University.
Our mission is to improve the management of cancer by:
- using molecular genetic information derived from human cancers to identify novel therapeutic targets
- developing drugs that exploit these novel targets and innovative clinical evaluation of these drugs.
Molecular genetic approaches developed by theNICR will also allow disease stratification, dose optimisation and treatment individualisation. The improvement of treatment outcomes for patients with cancer lies at the heart of our endeavour.
