The University of Southampton leads the UK in cancer immunology research. Building on this unrivalled expertise, we are raising £25m to open the UK’s first dedicated Centre for Cancer Immunology. We are on the cusp of exciting breakthroughs in the race to cure cancer. Our groundbreaking immunology research is enabling the body’s immune system to recognise and eradicate cancer cells. We are seeing some amazing results in clinical trials, with as many as half of our patients with difficult and terminal cancers, including lung and skin cancer, showing dramatic improvements. In fact, our immunotherapy treatments are proving so powerful they can last a lifetime. Our planned state-of-the-art Centre, the first of its kind in the UK, will connect world-leading specialists with cutting-edge facilities in a dedicated, interdisciplinary hub. The new Centre will increase the intensity and scope of cancer research and enable a step change in the number of cancer immunology clinical trials taking place nationally. The new Centre is due to open at Southampton General Hospital in 2017. “We are starting to see unprecedented success. Our new vaccines and antibodies direct special immune cells against cancers. These ‘killer’ cells can control and shrink cancer and give long-lasting protection.” Professor Peter Johnson CBE Professor of Oncology
