Research projects

Sometimes cancer treatment stops working if cancers become resistant to therapy so this team hope to improve survival rates by exploring potential new drugs.

Stopping cancer spreading makes it easier to treat, so this project hopes to discover the processes involved in cancer spreading and find clues for new cures.

Researchers hope to better understand the communication inside cancer cells to make discoveries that can pave the way for new cures in a variety of cancer types.

Researchers hope to discover how to treat leukaemia that has returned after therapy by better understanding the mechanism that causes cancer to come back. 

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

By discovering more about how and why cancer develops this research team hope to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer in the future.

Liver cancer is very hard to treat but this team hope to better understand whether an exciting new potential treatment could help or patients in the future.

By comparing oesophageal cancer cells to healthy cells researchers hope to find clues towards much needed new treatments and improve the poor survival rates.

This project hopes to discover clues towards new cures that would stop breast cancer spreading, which could dramatically improve outcomes for patients.
