Research projects

A big issue when treating cancer is when cells become resistant to therapy so this project hopes to reveal ways to target melanoma before resistance kicks-in. 

Researchers hope to find a vital new treatment for pancreatic caner that can get past scar tissue that blocks other therapies reaching this devastating disease.

This project hopes to discover new ways of preventing people with an inherited risk of a particularly aggressive form of leukaemia from developing the disease.

Understanding how healthy cells support the survival and growth of lymphoma will ultimately lead to the development of essential new treatments.

This project will hopefully reveal new molecular targets for drugs to make immunotherapy work better  for more cancer patients in the future.

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.

Children born with some disorders are prone to developing lymphoma so this project hopes to better understand why and improve outcomes for these children.

Survival rates for lung cancer vary considerably so this project aims to improve survival rates by discover new ways to diagnosis and treat aggressive lung cancers.

This team hope to make discoveries about the immune system that will kickstart new treatments, making them successful for more patients in the future.
