Research projects

Stopping breast cancer spreading would make it much easier to treat so this project is exploring a molecule that appears to stop tumours spreading.

Immunotherapy for cancer has huge potential but doesn’t always work, so this project hopes to find ways for it to cure more people with bowel cancer.

Researchers are looking to increase the quality of life of cancer patients by discovering new ways to boost our immune system to attack cancer.

Looking for new cures for hepatoblastoma, the most common type of liver cancer in children, by studying ‘mini tumours’ to discover how it develops. 

Researchers are hoping to discover new ways to diagnose liver cancer more accurately, which would help patients receive better treatments more quickly.

This project could lead to new immunotherapy treatments that can block tumour growth in lung cancer and potentially many other cancer types.

Multiple myeloma is a hard to treat blood cancer and so in this project researchers want to find ways to help immunotherapy work for more patients.

By better understanding how oesophageal cancer first emerges researchers hope to find new ways to prevent this disease and improve survival rates. 

Immunotherapy doesn’t always work but by learning more about how immune cells and cancer cells interact researchers hope it can work better for more patients.
