Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre
A major network of Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres (ECMCs) has been established across the UK to drive the development of biomarkers and new anti-cancer treatments. This is a joint initiative between Cancer Research UK and the Departments of Health in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The network was launched in October 2006 and ECMC status and funding was awarded to 18 centres of scientific and clinical excellence in translational research including King's College London.
