Research projects

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.

Researchers hope to make immunotherapy work better for more lung cancer patients by finding out if they can target therapy more directly at tumours.

Researchers hope to improve the poor survival rates for lung cancer by better understanding how these tumours grow and finding new targeted treatments.

Researchers hope to improve a current treatment by finding new combination drugs that could work alongside it and help it work for as many patients as possible.

This project hopes to improve survival rates for a rare but deadly form of leukemia by discovering how these cancer cells stay alive and how to stop them.

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.

This research team aims to discover exactly how specific genes help to repair damage to DNA in the hope of identifying new ways that cancers could be treated. 

Treatment can stop working if cancer becomes resistant so this project hopes to better understand this process to find ways for therapies to help more patients.

This project aims to discover why some leukaemia patients respond to drugs and others don't, in order to kickstart better treatments for everyone.
