3U Translational Cancer
Approximately one in three people in Ireland will develop cancer over their lifetime. Treatments are improving, but cancer is a complex condition and, consequently, developing effective anti-cancer therapies needs expertise across a broad range of disciplines.
The process of translation involves science, medicine and industry partnering to turn research findings into new pharmaceuticals, products or devices for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of human cancer. In practice, the framework through which research can be translated is a triangle that involves scientists understanding new targets for treatment, clinical researchers measuring the impact on patients and providing relevant samples and industry developing new methods to apply the findings in new diagnostics, drugs and improved therapies.
3U TRANSLATIONAL CANCER research combines scientific and clinical findings, and works with industry to turn these into real, practice-changing methods that could be used against cancer.
By bringing researchers from DCU, RCSI, Maynooth University and industry together as a network, 3U TRANSLATIONAL CANCER draws on a broad range of complementary expertise and allows pooling of resources to accelerate advances. While the grouping has expertise in lung, breast and paediatric cancers, many of the discoveries made apply to other types of cancer as well.
