The School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences comprises of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC), Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IPS) and recently incorporated Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences Department.

Within the Comprehensive Cancer Centre there are thirteen research programmes and 20 research groups.

The Institute of Pharmaceutical Science has three main research themes of Drug Discovery; Medicines Development and Delivery; and Medicines Use. Find out more about the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and view current opportunities.

Discover more about the Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences department here.

We collaborate extensively with scientists and clinicians across KCL and within King’s Health Partners (KHP).

The overarching objective of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre is to combine research excellence with innovations in clinical practice to improve cancer patient care and therefore our research goes from basic biological research through to translational cancer research to clinical trials. We have a particular focus on tumour microenvironment, imaging and immunotherapy, which are the themes of our Cancer Research UK King's Health Partners' Cancer Centre'.

Each of the three themes within IPS includes clusters of research activity, some of which have evolved during the past decade (e.g., drug delivery, chemical biology, pharmaceutical biophysics, pharmacology), and some of which have joined KCL more recently such as enhanced activity in anticancer and anti-infective drug discovery, nanomedicines, substance abuse, health psychology, and clinical pharmacy. Researchers within and across the three themes interact both informally and via joint initiatives to promote cross-disciplinary research.
