New Research Models for Emerging Powers

The ICP have been global leaders in the study and development of new cancer research models and systems. Building on an extensive portfolio of research and experience in high income countries we have increasingly focused on the needs of cancer research systems in low and middle income countries.

Over the last five years we have worked closely with Chile’s research leaders to study the national research system and help launch a national research strategy and National Cancer Forum. The ICP has a particular interest in Latin America and was part of the group that published the Lancet Oncology Commission on Cancer Care in LatinAmerica.

We also currently studying the research systems in Mexico and Cuba. The ICP has also forged a strong partnership with the National Cancer Grid of India.

In 2015 the ICP will be completing a major program to map NCD research across Europe, including high resolution studies of cancer.
