The cure for cancer?You’re it

Raising £25m to build a world-leading Centre for Cancer Immunology at Southampton

Naming opportunities

Architect’s impression

Naming opportunitiesThe Centre for Cancer Immunology will be the first dedicated centre of its

kind in the UK. It will bring together world-leading specialists from a range

of disciplines to harness the power of immunity in the fight against cancer.

Scientists, clinicians, technical experts and patients will collaborate in a

creative, interactive environment, generating new knowledge and applying

it seamlessly in exciting new treatments.

The new 4,000m2, four-storey building will house state-of-the-art equipment to support the development of new cancer immunotherapies: from discovery in the lab through to clinical trials. The Centre will be home to world-class research facilities and a specialist clinical trials unit. A suite of molecular biology laboratories will enable researchers to investigate the complex interactions between cancer and the immune system and use genetic engineering to develop new vaccines and antibodies.

We invite you to consider a range of naming opportunities to reflect your personal commitment or to honour family and friends who have made a difference in your life.

“We are proud to support a project that will change the way cancer is treated across the world. We encourage other donors to join us in taking this significant step towards finding new treatments.”

Philip and Angela Greatrex, donors and University of Southampton alumni
