World map of psycho-oncology research centres

As part of our efforts to foster collaborations and networks among researchers in psycho-oncology we are developing a directory of psycho-oncology research centres around the world. We anticipate that this feature will assist researchers in psycho-oncology to:

  • identify collaborating centres for studies
  • identify centres for PhD / post-doctoral studies / work experience
  • identify centres/individuals with expertise in a particular area
  • foster collaborations between researcher conducting work in the same area
