The British Association for Cancer Research

The BACR is the largest British-based cancer society with a membership of almost 1,200.

It was formed in 1960 to promote the advance of research in relation to all aspects of cancer, both laboratory and clinical, and to encourage the exchange of information.

It achieves this aim by educational and training opportunities forall those involved in the cancer field, particularly the next generation of cancer research professionals.

Advances in Cancer Drug Discovery

The aim of this programme is to bring people together from both academia and industry to discuss new advances in cancer drug discovery and development. A key feature of this conference is that it will encompass both the biological and chemical aspects of cancer drug discovery and will provide an opportunity for interaction and discussion between these different disciplines.

Fellowships/Bursaries

The awarding of Fellowships and Bursaries is one of the major activities of the Association as part of its remit to provide educational and training opportunities for all those involved in the cancer field.

In particular the Travel/Exchange Fellowship scheme provides an excellent opportunity for researchers in the UK to spend time learning new techniques and gaining experience in another laboratory. More information
