Unit profile
Description
LUCC coordinates cancer research at Lund University and is the entry point for cancer research. The organisation started up in 2019. LUCC will support Lund University and Skåne University Hospital managements in strategic decisions in the cancer field and coordinate different initiatives and activities. LUCC will also serve as contact point and strive to strengthen the cancer field at different levels.
