Newcastle University Wolfson Childhood Cancer Centre
since 2018
Wolfson Childhood Cancer Centre at Newcastle University is a facility where clinical and research teams from across the city can come together to advance their understanding of how to treat childhood cancers. It brings together over 90 scientists and clinicians in state-of-the-art facilities, including the NECCR Research Laboratories.
Approximately 1,600 children are diagnosed with cancer each
year in the UK and the illness remains one of the main reasons
why children die prematurely. Many long-term survivors sufferfrom chronic health problems related to their original therapy.
With one in 700 young adults now a survivor of childhood cancer, debilitating side effects are a concern.
Work at the Wolfson Childhood Cancer Research Centre will focus on developing less toxic therapies with fewer side effects, and more effective treatment options for youngsters with advanced cancer and those whose illness has returned.
Although £5.5m was raised to build the facility, it is not the end
as fundraising continues at pace to raise at least £300,000 each
year to support the new life-saving research conducted by the centre
