Research projects

Researchers hope to find ways for immunotherapy to help more patients by understanding how particular cells in our immune system could give treatments a boost.

This project hopes to kickstart a new cancer cure that could help patients in the future whilst reducing the side effects that come with current treatments.

Researchers hope to find out how the time of day influences how well cancer patients respond to therapy so that treatments can improve and work for more people.

This team hope to kickstart a way to more accurately diagnose patients and find clues towards new treatments by finding a new marker to detect cancer.

Survival rates for pancreatic cancer are worryingly poor so this project hopes to find new drug targets that could be used to develop much needed new therapies.

Researchers hope to help patients with aggressive ovarian cancer by investigating if a different existing drug could be effective at attacking cancer cells  

Oesophageal cancer is very tricky to diagnose making it hard to treat, so researchers want to find new markers to detect it earlier and improve survival rates.

This project hopes to be a vital step towards a completely new and targeted approach to tackling a cancer that is in desperate need of more effective treatments.

Bowel cancer is one of the highest causes of cancer death so this project is looking for urgent new cures by better understanding how it hides from our immune system.
