Active USA
Breast cancer
This project hopes to develop a new way to identify and target prostate and breast cancer cells in the body using tiny molecular ‘flags’, called minibodies.
Researcher: Dr Tanya Stoyanova
Mini but mighty: Using ‘minibodies’ to detect and treat breast and prostate cancer
Active USA
Leukaemia
This project is finding out more about a key molecule in the growth of acute myeloid leukaemia to hopefully reveal clues to better, more effective treatments.
Researcher: Dr Bruno Di Stefano
Targeting cancer’s weak spot – a new vulnerability for leukaemia
Active USA
Multiple cancers
Exploring how ‘messages’ sent from cancer cells to other parts of the body might help cancers to spread and whether new cures could stop this process.
Researcher: Dr Inbal Wortzel
A new way to predict and treat the spread of cancer
Complete USA
Pancreatic cancer
This research team hope to discover clues towards much needed new treatments for pancreatic cancer so that survival rates for patients improve.
Researcher: Dr Edna Cukierman
Getting on cancer's nerves: exploring how the tumour's environment helps it grow
Complete USA
General cancer research
This project hopes to reveal more about the biology that drives cancer growth to open up new avenues for improving diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Researcher: Dr John LaCava
How a genetic parasite contributes to cancer development
Complete USA
Skin cancer
Researchers are hoping to kickstart new ways to prevent SCC or to diagnose SCC patients sooner to make it easier to treat the disease and improve survival rates.
Researcher: Dr Markus Schober
A new way to diagnose and prevent squamous cell carcinoma
Complete USA
Skin cancer
This project hopes to discover how skin cancer develops resistance to treatments and find ways to overcome it so that survival rates improve.
Researcher: Dr Bin Zheng
Overcoming drug resistance in skin cancer
