New facility in Belfast aims to improve cancer treatment

With the aim to improve the health of thousands of people inflicted by cancer, an innovative cancer research and curing facility will open at Queen’s University in Belfast. The said laboratory, which was made possible by the tie-up of Belfast Health and Trust for Social Care and Queen’s Centre of Cancer Research and Cell Biology, is considered to be the first in Ireland and UK.

Both the Northern Ireland Biobank (NIB) and North Ireland Molecular Pathology Laboratory (NI-MPL) can result to better analysis of cancer through tumour samples examination at a molecular state. The facility will also pave way to personalized treatment and advancement of research about cancer.
