Spotlight

We're committed to driving therapeutic innovation in oncology, with six drug discovery sites and one focus: accelerating the discovery and development of new therapeutics. Our expertise spans target identification, validation and clinical positioning, through Hit identification and lead optimisation to the selection of candidate drugs for regulatory development, for both small molecule and antibody modalities.

Through partnership with the Cancer Research UK Centre for Drug Development we can also offer access to the capabilities and infrastructure needed to demonstrate clinical potential.
