Breakthrough Cancer Research funded eight PhD scholars since 2018.

Breakthrough Cancer Research funds the efficient and effective development of new treatments for cancer. We work to significantly impact the number of people who can survive this disease. Research programmes funded by Breakthrough Cancer Research must focus on translating lab discoveries into new treatment opportunities. To this end we work closely with clinicians in practice all over Ireland so that our research is targeted at finding new options for poor prognosis and incurable cancers. Monies raised through Breakthrough Cancer Research are used to support focused research programmes, directly fund scientists and purchase laboratory consumables. It will enhance facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and ensure that all cancer patients throughout Ireland have the opportunity to access the most up to date and effective treatment for their disease. Working closely with healthcare professionals, expert scientists, our donors and volunteers, Breakthrough Cancer Research facilitates the investment of the community in the future of cancer care. We fund world-class laboratory research leading to clinical trials and more effective treatments for cancer patients. Registered Charity No: 20077945
