About us
Imperial College Experimental Cancer Medicine (ECMC) centre is one of the 18 adult centres located throughout the UK that are jointly funded by CRUK and NIHR. Each ECMC centre has a unique capability and they aim to provide support for translating laboratory findings into early phase clinical trials and share knowledge and expertise throughout the network and collaborate with Industry.
Imperial College ECMC is co-led by Professor Hashim Ahmed and Professor Iain McNeish and the centre’s main aims are:
- To develop technology and its application in clinical studies involving imaging, biomarkers and surgery.
- To develop early phase trials with a focus on reversing therapy resistance in breast, ovary, haematological, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancers.
Our ECMC centre is closely aligned to Cancer Research UK Imperial Centre and Imperial College Healthcare Biomedical Research Centre.
