Research Hub

Bowel Research UK was founded in 2020 following a merger between two well-respected charities: Bowel & Cancer Research and Bowel Disease Research Foundation.

Between them, the two charities have over 50 years’ worth of experience in helping to fund cutting-edge research and making enormous progress in the fight against bowel cancer and other bowel diseases.

Below is further information on some of the research projects that we have funded and are currently working on.
