Research projects

Discovering how cancer cells generate the energy they need and whether we can stop this process, to find possible new targets for cancer treatments.

This project is finding out more about a key molecule in the growth of acute myeloid leukaemia to hopefully reveal clues to better, more effective treatments.

Researchers are hoping to pave the way towards much needed new lung cancer therapies using helpful microbes to boost therapies and improve survival rates.

By furthering our knowledge about the thousands of genes that are contained in each cancer cell, this project aims to find brand new combinations of cancer drugs. 

This project could uncover new ways to help predict who would benefit from an existing breast cancer treatment, and improve its effectiveness for more patients.  

Lymphomas can sometimes come back even after successful treatment so this project is exploring a possible new way to target this disease and improve patient outcomes. 

This project hopes to lead to a way to stop cancer cells from becoming resistant to a type of targeted treatment, so that the therapy works for more people.

This project aims to progress the development of powerful new immunotherapy treatments by uncovering vital new information about how our immune system works. 

Children with leukaemia are often treated with chemotherapy which has distressing and harsh side so this project hopes to discover better, gentler treatments.
