llni.co.ukAbout Leukaemia & Lymphoma Ni
Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI is the only charity in Northern Ireland dedicated solely to funding research into blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other haematological malignancies. Founded with a mission to advance innovative scientific and clinical research, they strive for superior treatments, higher survival rates and improved quality of life. Their values emphasise research excellence, local investment, clinician-scientist partnerships, early-career development, and public awareness to drive early diagnosis. They fund laboratory-based research projects developing novel therapies, translational science bridging discoveries to clinical outcomes, infrastructure and equipment for haematology research, research fellowships for clinician-scientists, studentships for medical students, and clinical support roles such as blood cancer patient supporters and clinical trials nurses. Beneficiaries include individuals with blood cancers facing diagnosis, treatment toxicity, relapse or end-stage needs, along with their families, clinicians, and students. All funding supports experts in Northern Ireland, with a focus on partnerships such as the Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research. What makes them distinctive is their exclusive focus on blood cancer research in Northern Ireland, with all funds reinvested locally.
