About our department

Our goal is to improve treatment and treatment outcomes for people with cancer in Aotearoa, through close collaboration between clinicians and scientists.

We are the interface between the Cancer & Blood Research Unit at ADHB and the university, patients and laboratories. We are home to clinical cancer academics, and cancer translational researchers.

Although there are a lot of challenges facing people with cancer, our main focus is treatment. We are predominantly a research department with expanding teaching capacity.
