LUCC has 17 strategic translational networks based on cancer diagnosis, technology or process and are headed by one basic and one clinical researcher in most of the networks. The aim of the networks is to bridge the gap between basic and clinical science and between diverse disciplines. Networking activities includes discussion about scientific challenges in the field, facilitation of new collaborations, and to share technical and scholar expertise. The key goal is to create opportunities that set the foundation for novel interdisciplinary research collaboration.
