About Us

At Worldwide Cancer Research, we start new cures. Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but cutting-edge science can give us hope.

We actively seek unconventional and imaginative ideas from scientists at all stages of their career, across the globe.

Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries.

As a charity, we are committed to opportunity without barriers, and we are striving to seek, value and learn from different perspectives and experiences.

We want Worldwide Cancer Research to be an inclusive organisation – where everyone can be themselves and feel valued – as diverse as the scientific community we fund and the families whose lives we impact.

We aim to ensure that our recruitment process is unbiased and that everyone is treated equitably.
