Lymphoma
Lymphomas can sometimes come back even after successful treatment so this project is exploring a possible new way to target this disease and improve patient outcomes.
Researcher: Professor Bruno Amati
Seeking a possible new target for lymphoma treatmentActive Ireland
Lymphoma
This project hopes to lead to a way to stop cancer cells from becoming resistant to a type of targeted treatment, so that the therapy works for more people.
Researcher: Professor Adrian Bracken
Maximising the effectiveness of a targeted therapy for non-Hodgkin lymphomaActive Australia
Multiple cancers
This project aims to progress the development of powerful new immunotherapy treatments by uncovering vital new information about how our immune system works.
Researcher: Dr Mireille Lahoud
Boosting the ability of our immune system to better detect and more effectively destroy cancerActive Portugal
Leukaemia
Children with leukaemia are often treated with chemotherapy which has distressing and harsh side so this project hopes to discover better, gentler treatments.
Researcher: Dr João Barata
Spot the difference: revealing differences between leukaemia cells and healthy cellsActive Ireland
Ovarian cancer
Researchers hope to find much needed new ways to treat ovarian cancer by better understanding the biology of how this common cancer develops.
Researcher: Dr Eric Conway
Discovering new targets to treat ovarian cancerActive Spain
Lung cancer
Researchers want to help immunotherapy work for more cancer patients by understanding how cancers hijack our immune system and preventing this happening
Researcher: Dr Andrés Hidalgo
Understanding how cancer cells modify white blood cells to help tumours growActive Netherlands
Melanoma
This project hopes to find new ways to stop cancer spreading and stop it resisting treatments by understanding better how cancer cells collaborate.
Researcher: Professor Peter Friedl

Breast cancer
This project is hoping to find smarter and kinder ways to treat breast cancer by destroying cancer cells in a different way from other cancer treatments.
Researcher: Professor Pascal Meier
