The ICRI research programme has been underpinned by the construction of a 5,000m2 purpose built facility. The new building, which opened in July 2005, has five floors comprising new research laboratories, write-up areas for post doctoral research staff and postgraduate students, meeting/seminar rooms and modern administrative office space.
The research infrastructure is supported by expertise in core technologies including the biological resource unit, bio-imaging, tissue processing and bio-banking facilities. The ICRI provides an environment in which clinical scientists can work alongside and interact with basic research colleagues in a variety of laboratory programmes.
ICRI is one of the partners in the new Cancer Research Centre in India, established 4 March 2001. This brings together scientists, doctors and nurses who, by sharing knowledge and expertise, will rapidly develop lab-based discoveries into treatments that will benefit patients in India and beyond.
