Teenage & Young Adult Research: Services

The primary aim of this project is to create an age-appropriate resource which helps to inform TYAs about Clinical Trials, Biobanking and Genomics.

Clinical research is the study of health and illness in people. There are two main types of clinical research: observational studies and clinical trials.

Cancer is a disease of the genome. It occurs when changes in a person’s DNA results in cells growing and dividing uncontrollably.

Biobanking is when patients agree that we can take extra or unused tissue or bodily fluids during an operation, biopsy or blood test as samples for research.
