Department/Directorate Information:

The Target Evaluation and Molecular Therapeutics (TEMT) team, within the Division of Cancer Therapeutics, has a dual role in investigating the underlying biology of cancer targets and the response to targeted therapeutics and in developing assays and strategies to support drug discovery.

The Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery (CCDD), within the Division of Cancer Therapeutics (DCT), is a multidisciplinary ’bench to bedside’ centre, comprising around 200 staff dedicated to the discovery and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The CCDD’s exciting goal is to discover high quality drug candidates for validated biological targets and to progress these candidates to clinical trial. All the scientific disciplines are in place to make this possible. Our world-class biologists, chemists and drug metabolism specialists work together focusing on new molecular targets emerging from human genome and ground-breaking cell biology research. This is an exciting and fast-moving cancer research setup and offers the opportunity to work within a multi-disciplinary environment using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment.
