Research projects

This research team want to kickstart new cures for leukaemia since patients often go on to develop the disease again even after successful treatment.

Researchers want to discover new combinations of treatment that could tackle the problem of cancer becoming resistant to therapy and help patient outcomes.

The location of brain cancer makes it particularly hard to treat so this team hope to find ways to improve radiotherapy so it can benefit more patients.

This project hopes to discover how skin cancer develops resistance to treatments and find ways to overcome it so that survival rates improve.

Researchers hope to find vital new ways to diagnose and treat leukaemia patients by understanding the link between Down Syndrome and this type of cancer.

This project aims to find a new way to boost the immune system’s fight against cancer so that in the future treatments work better for more patients.

This project hopes to find a way for DNA damage to build up in cancer cells that would ultimately cause more of these cells to die and treatments work better.  

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.
