Research projects

This project hopes to reveal how obesity and other factors increase the risk of endometrial cancer and to prevent people at risk from developing this disease. 

Researchers are trying to improve ways of spotting cancer that has spread to the lungs to help patients sooner and give them better treatment options.

Researchers hope to find new drug targets that could make immunotherapies more effective, making them a better option for more people with advanced melanoma.

Researchers hope to find better, more personalised treatments for breast cancer patients by identifying characteristics that predict how a tumour will behave.

In this project researchers are exploring a potentially groundbreaking new way to treat to lung cancer through a non-invasive, inhalable treatment.

Researchers hope that exploring the effect of specific mutations on the development of lung cancer will pave the way for personalised treatments for patients. 

A big issue when treating cancer is when cells become resistant to therapy so this project hopes to reveal ways to target melanoma before resistance kicks-in. 

Researchers hope to find a vital new treatment for pancreatic caner that can get past scar tissue that blocks other therapies reaching this devastating disease.

This project hopes to discover new ways of preventing people with an inherited risk of a particularly aggressive form of leukaemia from developing the disease.
