Description

A new Centre on the Ninewells Hospital campus is to be named after Jacqui Wood. The Centre will house more than 150 research scientists, working closely with clinicians to improve cancer treatment and our understanding of the
disease. Jacqui, who died in May 2011 after a long battle with cancer, led the Ninewells Cancer Campaign for 20 years and during that time raised an incredible £17 million to support cancer research and treatment at Ninewells.

“The Jacqui Wood Cancer Centre” will be housed in a five-floor building on the Ninewells site and will fulfil Jacqui’s vision that Dundee should continue to further develop close ties between the research scientists and clinicians on one site, which will undoubtedly result in improved treatments for cancer patients.

This Special Appeal in her memory is to raise £2 million to
create an outstanding research infrastructure and to attract
even more world-class research scientists to Dundee.
