The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) is pleased to announce that Cancer Research Wales, one of the leading cancer charities in Wales, has joined NCRI as a Partner. Cancer Research Wales is dedicated to the pursuit of a cure for cancer. They are making progress in prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, which will benefit cancer patients in Wales and beyond.

Cancer Research Wales built state of the art laboratories at Velindre Cancer Centre, which allowed clinicians and scientists to work together more closely. They were also, along with the Welsh Government, a major stakeholder in the formation and funding of The Wales Cancer Bank, which set the gold-standard for the collection tissue. In the last 10 years alone Cancer Research Wales has pledged over £15M for new research in areas across Wales, such as Swansea, Wrexham, Bangor and Cardiff.
