Research projects

Looking for new cures for hepatoblastoma, the most common type of liver cancer in children, by studying ‘mini tumours’ to discover how it develops. 

Researchers are hoping to discover new ways to diagnose liver cancer more accurately, which would help patients receive better treatments more quickly.

This project could lead to new immunotherapy treatments that can block tumour growth in lung cancer and potentially many other cancer types.

Multiple myeloma is a hard to treat blood cancer and so in this project researchers want to find ways to help immunotherapy work for more patients.

By better understanding how oesophageal cancer first emerges researchers hope to find new ways to prevent this disease and improve survival rates. 

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.
