Advancing Cancer Research and Care
CROSS is a registered Irish charity funding translational research across a variety of solid malignancies at St James’s Hospital, Dublin — turning laboratory discovery into better diagnosis, treatment and survivorship for patients.
Translational research teams, one shared pipeline.
PhD & MD researchers trained and graduated.
National & international partner institutions.

Funding people, not just projects
CROSS (Cancer Research of the Oesophagus and Stomach at St James's Hospital) funds the researchers, training and laboratory infrastructure that move discoveries from the bench to the bedside.
Three teams, one translational pipeline
Our funded programme spans tumour biology, radiobiology and tumour immunology — overlapping deliberately so discoveries in one lab are tested in the next.
Bringing science out of the lab
From school science weeks to public open evenings, our researchers share their work and involve patients in shaping it.
- Hands-on learning for young scientists
- Public events that build understanding
- Partnerships that shape our research
Donate
Your donation funds discovery
Your support funds the people and research that turn scientific discoveries into better outcomes for cancer patients in Ireland.
1. Why We Act
Oesophageal and gastric cancers are amongst the most aggressive and least survivable cancers in Ireland. Early diagnosis and better treatments save lives — and that work starts here.
2. How It Helps
Your donation directly funds PhD students, research fellows and laboratory equipment. Every euro invested in our team creates the pilot data that unlocks larger national and international grants.
3. The Urgency
Patients cannot wait. Translational research bridges the gap between laboratory discovery and clinical practice — but only with sustained funding. The need is constant, and so is the science.
4. Where It Goes
Funds go to student stipends, pilot research projects, essential lab equipment and outreach activities. We are a registered Irish charity — transparent, accountable and patient-focused.
