Liverpool Head and Neck Centre (LHNC) academics based at the University of Liverpool are leading on five new cancer research projects supported by £5.7m in funding.
These grants include clinical trials, laboratory investigations and exploring the interaction between head and neck cancer and SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
This remarkable achievement is noteworthy during a period of concern about a paucity of research funding for Russell Group universities.
LHNC was created in 2018 as a partnership between University and NHS partners Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust and The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, in order to facilitate treatment and research of diseases of the head and neck.
