Research projects

Complete United Kingdom
Kidney cancer
Researchers hope to improve a current treatment by finding new combination drugs that could work alongside it and help it work for as many patients as possible.
Researcher: Professor Hardev Pandha
Three-pronged attack on kidney cancer
Complete Australia
Leukaemia
This project hopes to improve survival rates for a rare but deadly form of leukemia by discovering how these cancer cells stay alive and how to stop them.
Researcher: Professor Suzanne Cory
A potential new drug target for an aggressive form of leukaemia
Complete USA
General cancer research
This project hopes to reveal more about the biology that drives cancer growth to open up new avenues for improving diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Researcher: Dr John LaCava
How a genetic parasite contributes to cancer development
Complete France
General cancer research
This research team aims to discover exactly how specific genes help to repair damage to DNA in the hope of identifying new ways that cancers could be treated.
Researcher: Dr Ludovic Deriano
Understanding a newly discovered way cells repair damage to DNA
Complete Spain
Bowel cancer
Treatment can stop working if cancer becomes resistant so this project hopes to better understand this process to find ways for therapies to help more patients.
Researcher: Professor Eduard Batlle
Understanding drug resistance in metastatic bowel cancer
Complete Italy
Leukaemia
This project aims to discover why some leukaemia patients respond to drugs and others don't, in order to kickstart better treatments for everyone.
Researcher: Dr Massimo Degano
Visualising molecular messengers in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Complete USA
Skin cancer
Researchers are hoping to kickstart new ways to prevent SCC or to diagnose SCC patients sooner to make it easier to treat the disease and improve survival rates.
Researcher: Dr Markus Schober
A new way to diagnose and prevent squamous cell carcinoma
Complete Italy
Leukaemia
This research team want to kickstart new cures for leukaemia since patients often go on to develop the disease again even after successful treatment.
Researcher: Dr Giulia Casorati
Developing targeted immunotherapy for leukaemia
Complete Australia
General cancer research
Researchers want to discover new combinations of treatment that could tackle the problem of cancer becoming resistant to therapy and help patient outcomes.
Researcher: Dr Cameron Bracken
Flicking the right switches to prevent cancer progression
