For World Cancer Day 2022, we share some of our commitments to better support advances in cancer research that have the potential to become tomorrow’s life-saving innovations.
We enable researchers to explore new areas of cancer research such as biomarker studies in tissue and biofluids.

Biomarkers are increasingly used to enable the earlier detection of cancer. Our recombinant antibody pairs and ELISA kits help identify biomarkers, soluble or expressed at the surface of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and other vesicles such as exosomes.
Our immunohistochemistry-validated antibodies are also used to access a deeper layer of information, for example to understand why and how certain tumors can evade immune surveillance.
Find out what researchers are discovering with our products:
Immune checkpoint targets (such as PD-L1, TIM-3, LAG-3, STING, etc.) are actively studied as therapeutic targets as well as for diagnostics in drug development to utilize the immune system against the tumor.
Nature cell biology vol. 21,8 (2019): 1027-1040
The role of mutations and post-translational modifications continue to be investigated in some of the most important oncologic signalling nodes and networks within our cells (such as KRAS or BRAF) to better tailor therapy for cancer patients.

We believe in the power of collaboration and its potential to deliver positive outcomes faster.
Below is a selection of innovative organizations and how we work with them to enable their next breakthrough.
Cancer Research UK
Custom antibodies to support understanding of cancer biology, help generate new diagnostic tools, and potentially be the basis for novel therapies.
Epic Sciences
Highly specific recombinant antibodies to help accelerate the development of a liquid biopsy profiling technology for prostate cancer.
Pionyr Immunotherapeutics
Long-term provision of anti-TREM2 antibody to support the progression of the company’s first clinical asset for the treatment of solid tumors.
We provide a place for scientists to come together and share insights impacting the field.

Some proud moments when we have supported cancer communities.
$35k
raised for cancer charities
for #moveagainstcancer
In October 2021 our people across the globe joined hands to support #MoveAgainstCancer, a non-profit initiative aiming at raising money for charities working to improve the lives of people with cancer.
“My wife and I walked 32.2 miles in one day, which is the distance from our home to the Macmillan Cancer Unit at West Suffolk Hospital. This was my regular commute when I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.
After a 5-month chemotherapy plan, I was given the ‘all clear’. What really hit home to us was how incredibly fortunate we are to benefit from life changing medicines and how important it is for an organisation such as Abcam to pursue its mission. This is what I think about every time I walk into the office.”Nick Linsey
Talent Acquisition at Abcam
Volunteers at Abcam pledged to travel miles to support the inspirational work that these charities are doing and to honor, celebrate or remember those affected by cancer.
Bravo and thank you all!
Some of our best moments !!
