Children’s Cancer North funds valuable work being carried out at the Wolfson Childhood Cancer Research Centre in Newcastle. The facility is a national centre of excellence where expert clinical and research teams come together to advance their understanding of how to treat childhood cancers.
This unique approach directly links clinical professionals at Great North Children’s Hospital with University academics and scientists, enabling patients across the North of England and beyond to participate in early phase trials.
Research at Wolfson Centre in the Hershel Building is centred around childhood cancer. There are more than 100 members of staff based in this part of the Centre.
Research here focuses on:
- Developing less toxic therapies with fewer side-effects
- More effective treatment options for youngsters with advanced cancer
- Those whose illness has returned
