Research projects

Researchers hope to discover whole new ways to prevent and treat cancer in the future by using a powerful new technique to study how cancer grows.

Cancers is easier to treat when caught early so this project hopes to reveal new treatments that could stop melanoma spreading, helping survival rates.

Mutations to a certain gene lead to several types of cancer, so this project hopes to find new future cures by better understanding the role of this mutation.

Unfortunately most brain tumours return despite treatment so researchers are hope to find clues towards future cures which could improve outcomes for patients. 

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

This project hopes to reveal vital new ways to stop bowel cancer developing by better understanding how cancer cells and healthy cells interact. 

This project hopes to reveal how obesity and other factors increase the risk of endometrial cancer and to prevent people at risk from developing this disease. 

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 new drug targets that could make immunotherapies more effective, making them a better option for more people with advanced melanoma.
