The Cyprus Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) has announced the completion of the construction of its building facilities and the 22 May inauguration of the ‘Nicola David - Pinedo Building’ which will house the Institute in Aglandjia, Nicosia.

In a press release, the CCRI says that the 3,111 square metre project was built with funding by the George and Kate David foundation. The building is Phase 1 of the whole infrastructure and is located near the western entrance of the University of Cyprus Campus.

The Institute is a joint venture between the University of Cyprus, the Karaiskakeio Foundation and the Oncology Centre of the Bank of Cyprus and aims to become a leading cancer research centre, creating bridges of communication and knowledge exchange with other centres abroad and in Cyprus.

It will be also offering training and specialisation opportunities to young scientists.

Its state-of-the-art facilities will host research groups with the aim of conducting essential and pioneering research in cancer.

"The ‘Nicola David – Pinedo Building’ will not only be an architectural landmark in Cyprus but an important factor for the development of a national network of Research Excellence in cancer matters, thus promoting Cyprus as a centre of research for cancer and treatment of patients, as well as an incubator for young scientists," the press release says.
