Founded through a philanthropic gift from Children with Cancer UK, the UCL Cancer Institute is the hub for cancer research at UCL.
The research that takes place here transforms our understanding of the disease in all its forms. It facilitates earlier and quicker diagnosis and monitoring of its progression and contributes to treatments (including in the fields of bio-therapeutics and immunotherapy) that are kinder, better targeted and more effective.
Philanthropy makes a profound impact on the development of these pioneering treatments such as CAR-T cell therapy, which is revolutionising cancer treatment.
The UCL CAR T programme
The UCL CAR T-cell programme is the most comprehensive in Europe, encompassing a broad-ranging portfolio of studies actively recruiting patients with B and T-cell malignancies, myeloma, and neuroblastoma.

The real impact of philanthropy is that it gives the brightest minds the freedom to think - and do - differently. That is where breakthroughs happen.
