Research Ecosystem
Our core research facilities, including state-of-the-art spatial and digital pathology technologies, are based in the Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre (WWCRC) on the Garscube Campus.
Along with partnering with the neighbouring CRUK Scotland Institute and working in close collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, we have created a unique cancer research powerhouse in Scotland.
Other key components of our research ecosystem include the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (part of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde), incorporating the Biorepository, the Glasgow Tissue Research Facility (GTRF) and Genomics Innovation Alliance (GIA). Additionally, some of the School’s clinical faculty are based at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre, the largest cancer treatment centre in Scotland, which also hosts the sole Clinical Trial Unit in Scotland, focused on oncology. In addition, on the same site is the Paul O’Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre.
The translational research strength in the School is exemplified by the Glasgow Experimental Cancer Medical Centre (ECMC), developing and delivering both early and late phase clinical trials across a range of cancer types, underpinned by precision medicine to maximise patient benefits.
