Houston meeting kicks off collaboration to advance cancer research
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Imperial College London met here today to
launch a joint initiative aimed at advancing scientific discovery of novel cancer therapies. The agreement builds upon
professional relationships between clinicians and researchers at both institutions and represents another step forward in the
global fight to eradicate cancer.
The collaboration agreement calls for the establishment of a research program focused on identifying new molecular targets
for cancer diagnosis and treatments that the two institutions will carry out over the next few years. Both are
internationally renowned for their commitment to and excellence in translational medicine, which drives pioneering cancer
research from the laboratory to patient therapies at the bedside.
Sir Richard Sykes, Rector of Imperial College London, said, "Cancer research has long been a major focus at Imperial, and
collaborations with such prestigious international partners as M. D. Anderson will help to further strengthen exploration of
cancer treatments as a key part of Imperial's research strategy."
By working together, Imperial College and M. D. Anderson hope to maximize their strengths in basic science research and
clinical programs, accelerating the speed of scientific discoveries. Specifically, M. D. Anderson will look for additional
opportunities to identify promising new anticancer agents for clinical development and to investigate new methods for
diagnosing and treating cancer. Imperial hopes to expand its range of research programs and further contribute to the
improvement of healthcare globally.
According to John Mendelsohn, M.D., President of M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, the agreement unites the strengths of two
premier institutions. "With the goal of making more rapid progress in cancer diagnosis and treatment, our collaboration will
lead to greater insights into the biology of cancer, and help us take advantage of advances in genomics and proteomics to
create new diagnostic tests and targeted therapies for cancer."
Both institutions have invested in technology transfer and collaborative applied research initiatives in order to bring
research discoveries to the market for the benefit of cancer patients everywhere, Dr. Mendelsohn said.
This agreement, signed on December 15, 2004, is the first of its kind for M. D. Anderson with a world class institution in
the United Kingdom and is funded in part by the Department for Trade and Industry's UK-Texas Bioscience Initiative, which
aims to promote collaborative research and development in biosciences and related topics between researchers in the UK and
the region around Houston, Texas.
About The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Centre
M. D. Anderson, a non-profit institution founded in 1941, has established an international reputation as one of the world's
pre-eminent centres for cancer patient care, research, education and prevention. A multidisciplinary approach, and dedication
to translational research, education and prevention are hallmarks of M. D. Anderson, which also holds the distinction of
being designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as one of the first three Comprehensive Cancer Centres in the United
States. It has been ranked the number one cancer centre in the United States in four of the past five years by U.S. News &
World Report's "America's Best Hospitals." M. D. Anderson has provided care for more than 600,000 cancer patients since 1944
and 70,000 in the last year alone. Its faculty currently hold more NCI research grants and grant dollars than any other
academic centre in the U.S. In 2003, nearly 1,000 new patients from outside the U.S. came to M. D. Anderson for care. http://www.mdanderson.org
