Research projects

Stopping these mechanisms could ultimately lead to a treatment that stops a variety of cancer types from spreading, making them much easier to treat.

By understanding how healthy cells are involved in pancreatic cancer growth this project hopes to find urgent new treatments for one of the deadliest cancers.

By discovering how cells communicate with each other and how this goes wrong in cancer, this project hopes to pave the way to cures for a variety of cancer types.

This team are working out how blood cancers develop in the bone marrow so that they can find new ways to treat the disease and help more patients in the future.

This project hopes to provide clues towards much needed alternative treatments for when current treatments stop working on childhood brain cancers.

This project hopes to find a way for a current bowel cancer treatment to work on more patients by exploring if it can be combined with a clever new technology.

Researchers hope to kickstart new ways of preventing and treating this rare but aggressive disease in women specifically since they are at higher risk.

This project hopes to reveal new knowledge about how tumours develop to lead the way to potential new drugs and treatments with fewer side effects in patients.

This project aims to reveal how parts of our diet could help cancer to spread and how to target this process to create future cures for a range of different cancers.
