CRT currently provides technology transfer and development services to many internationally renowned cancer research funding bodies, research establishments and cancer charities. The organisation has extended the traditional activities of technology transfer to encompass development funding and applied development capabilities. In this respect, CRT is distinctive amongst technology transfer organisations in having its own Discovery Laboratories, with core competences in molecular and cellular biology, drug discovery, early pharmacology and medicinal chemistry. Such activities add value to a scientist's initial invention and in so doing create robust licensing opportunities. In addition to the unique technology transfer and development capabilities, CRT's worldwide network of research partners also enables it to identify and bring together the widest possible complementary research to form attractive opportunities for commercial partners.

CRT's exclusive focus on oncology gives it an unrivalled array of expertise and commercial contacts amongst technology transfer organisations. Companies which licence technologies, or collaborate with CRT, know that the opportunities have been rigorously screened, selected and developed from the highest quality international cancer research.
