Research projects

The location of brain cancer makes it particularly hard to treat so this team hope to find ways to improve radiotherapy so it can benefit more patients.

This project hopes to discover how skin cancer develops resistance to treatments and find ways to overcome it so that survival rates improve.

Researchers hope to find vital new ways to diagnose and treat leukaemia patients by understanding the link between Down Syndrome and this type of cancer.

This project aims to find a new way to boost the immune system’s fight against cancer so that in the future treatments work better for more patients.

This project hopes to find a way for DNA damage to build up in cancer cells that would ultimately cause more of these cells to die and treatments work better.  

Stopping these mechanisms could ultimately lead to a treatment that stops a variety of cancer types from spreading, making them much easier to treat.

By understanding how healthy cells are involved in pancreatic cancer growth this project hopes to find urgent new treatments for one of the deadliest cancers.

By discovering how cells communicate with each other and how this goes wrong in cancer, this project hopes to pave the way to cures for a variety of cancer types.

This team are working out how blood cancers develop in the bone marrow so that they can find new ways to treat the disease and help more patients in the future.
