Cancer Centre UZ Ghent

The Cancer Centre UZ Ghent works closely with CRIG, which promotes multidisciplinary cancer research (within UZ Gent, UGent and VIB-UGent).
We aim to bundle care-related research questions for funding (e.g. scoring research projects submitted for the social grants of the Foundation against Cancer) and provide our expertise in psychosocial projects submitted to Kom op tegen Kanker or the Foundation against Cancer.
We disseminate research results through various channels (symposia, seminars, etc.), and often collaborate with CRIG for this purpose.
