Our research in Aberdeen

Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (photo by Donald Thomas) Cancer Research UK funds a number of researchers at the University of Aberdeen. Also people in and around Aberdeen are helping our research by taking part in clinical trials for a number of cancers, including lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers.

We also fund the clinical trials work of the Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG) at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The group co-ordinates the care of virtually all the UK’s children with cancer, ensuring they receive the most up-to-date treatments.
