About Us

The Christie is one of Europe's experimental cancer medicine centres, and an international leader in research and development. Our Research and Development Division was first formed in January 2008 and employs over 170 dedicated research staff, including; Research Nurses, Clinical Trial administration staff and the Research and Development core administration team.

Whilst our Research and Development Division is separate from our other service divisions, all our patients participating in clinical trails are supported by those service departments as well as specialist research facilities.

Our research portfolio includes a range of drug trials that include; phases I, II and III trials, and combination studies where radiotherapy is given in conjunction with drug treatments.

This groundbreaking research is made possible through the support of University facilities, and our specialist research facilities that include; the Clinical trials unit within the Oak Road Treatment Centre, the WADE Radiotherapy Research Centre and the Manchester Cancer Research Centre tissue Biobank.
