A NEW £28.5m research centre that will transform cancer treatment has opened.
The University of Manchester building in Withington will be home to researchers from the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC) – a partnership between Cancer Research UK, The University of Manchester and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.
The state-of-the-art facility, located opposite the Christie and the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, is set to pull in more world-class scientists to the city, boosting research and helping to get improved treatments to patients faster.
Stretford cancer survivor Luke Garrattley, pictured, was among those who attended the opening.
