Research projects

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.

Even if treatment is successful cancer can come back so researchers hope to find new ways to kill even the hidden cancer cells and improve patient outcomes.

Researchers are developing a highly innovative way to deliver treatments directly to tumours to improve survival rates of aggressive breast cancer.

This project hopes to pave the way towards more treatment options for patients with a type of breast cancer which often becomes resistant to current therapies.

Researchers believe that trying different combinations of treatments has potential to greatly improve the outcome for patients with a wide variety of cancers.
