Scottish Cancer Research to get £4.5m boost

Almost £4.5 million is to be put into cancer research over the next five years in Scotland.

Cancer Research UK has announced plans to invest the funds at the charity’s Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) in Glasgow.

The grant will allow doctors and scientists to continue “groundbreaking” work in finding better and kinder treatments for patients.

The centre, based at Glasgow University, gives people with cancer access to treatments by linking laboratory discoveries to clinical research in hospitals and clinics across the UK.
