AICRI's Mission
To provide an overarching framework for cancer research across the island of Ireland, from discovery to clinical implementation, for the benefit of cancer patients and wider society
About AICRI
AICRI will bring together the combined strengths of researchers on this island to tackle cancer, linking with colleagues (including the Irish diaspora) in the US and further afield. Together, we could really make a difference and significantly relieve suffering in a disease that will affect one in every two citizens on this island.
The All-Island Cancer Research Institute (AICRI) will have a particular focus on cancer and obesity, which is emerging as a major killer and risk factor for cancer.
AICRI will be comprised of four Research Pillars
- Cancer prevention
- Cancer diagnosis
- Cancer treatment
- Survivorship/quality of life
The four Research Pillars will be connected to Research Focus Areas. Examples of Research Focus Areas include: Molecular Mechanisms, Microbiome, Metabolism and Obesity, Food and Nutrition, Inflammation, Exercise and Sports.
