Research projects

Late stage sarcomas remain very hard to treat and not enough is understood about them, so this project hopes to be the starting point for vital new sarcoma cures.

Researchers hope to find ways for immunotherapy to help more patients by learning how cancer cells hide from the immune system and stopping them hiding. 

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.

Many synovial sarcoma tumour patients don’t respond well to treatments so this project wants to find new cures by better understanding what causes it.

This project studies how certain mutations drive the development of neuroblastoma and aims to identify new cures - providing hope for families affected.

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

Immunotherapy has helped improve melanoma survival rates but it doesn’t work for everyone so this project hopes to find ways for more patients to benefit.

Researchers hope to discover which cancers are likely to respond best to different treatment options, to improve patient outcomes in the future.

Prostate cancer can be very hard to treat when found at a later stage so this project hopes to pave the way towards future cures for these more aggressive cancers.
