Research projects

Exploring how ‘messages’ sent from cancer cells to other parts of the body might help cancers to spread and whether new cures could stop this process.

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

Lung cancer and breast cancer cells behave very differently so by exploring the unique ways their cells communicate researchers hope to find better cures.

This project hopes to discover more about the biology of how solid tumours develop to find new ways to prevent, diagnose or treat these cancers.

The team hope that by understanding how different mutations contribute to breast cancer, they can reveal new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat it.  

Researchers hope to reveal whether groundbreaking  new drugs could stop breast cancer spreading which would make this common cancer much easier to treat.

Researchers are trying to improve ways of spotting cancer that has spread to the lungs to help patients sooner and give them better treatment options.

Researchers hope to find better, more personalised treatments for breast cancer patients by identifying characteristics that predict how a tumour will behave.

Breast cancer is much harder to treat once it spreads so the team hope to better understand the processes through which tumours spread and find new ways to stop it.
