About the Centre

The Centre for Early Detection and Innovation (CEDI) works across disciplines to tackle the pressing challenges in the prevention and early detection of women's cancers through research, education and collaboration.

We focus on clinical, technological and translational innovation in:

Risk prediction and stratification
Early detection
Inequalities across gynaecological cancers

Our Aims

Develop novel technologies for the early detection of women’s cancers
Discover biomarkers for early detection of women’s cancers
Implement new strategies to support informed decision-making and early intervention of women’s cancers in disadvantaged populations
