Research projects

Immunotherapy doesn’t always work but by learning more about how immune cells and cancer cells interact researchers hope it can work better for more patients.

Therapies for melanoma sometimes stop working if treatment resistance develops so by understanding how this happens researchers hope to find new, better, cures. 

Lung cancer and breast cancer cells behave very differently so by exploring the unique ways their cells communicate researchers hope to find better cures.

This project hopes to reveal if changing the intervals between radiotherapy doses makes it better at treating one of the most common types of brain tumour.

This project hopes to discover more about the biology of how solid tumours develop to find new ways to prevent, diagnose or treat these cancers.

Researchers hope to find new ways to stop cancer by better understanding how the ‘tumour microenvironment’ around cancers impacts their ability to spread. 

Researchers hope to find new ways predict and stop cancers becoming life-threatening by understanding how a very common cancer mutation helps cancers spread.

This project hopes to find vital new treatments for pancreatic cancer patients with no current options by better understanding how pancreatic cancers spreads.

This project hopes to discover new ways to prevent the development of resistance to cancer treatments which is crucial to stop people dying from cancer.
