INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR CANCER EARLY DETECTION (ACED)

No single organisation can solve cancer early detection alone.

By bringing together expertise from across disciplines, institutions and countries, we're creating collaborations that enable research at a scale no single centre could deliver on its own.

Our members are:

Cancer Research UK, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The University of Manchester, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), University College London, Knight Cancer Institute at OHSU and the University of Cambridge.

We stimulate, enable and support collaboration across our member centres.

Our work is built around four key areas:

By uniting global expertise and infrastructure, ACED is doing what no single institution can: shifting the needle on the most complex research challenges in early detection and diagnosis to create a future where cancers are detected earlier, are more treatable and more people survive.
