Over the next 5 years this new centre seeks to develop an integrated cancer plan with a focus on gastrointestinal cancer, underpinned by high quality basic, translational and clinical cancer research.
The intention is to develop one team based across two sites, with an operating and governance system that will drive the exchange of ideas, which is crucial to academic development and alleviating the burden that cancer places on societies across the world.
The Centre will seek to build a portfolio of multi-disciplinary teams drawing from both organizations.

The establishment of a bilateral researcher exchange program will drive the delivery of these.
