Research projects

Active Greece
Brain cancer
Unfortunately most brain tumours return despite treatment so researchers are hope to find clues towards future cures which could improve outcomes for patients.
Researcher: Professor Christos Delidakis
Model brains: Using fruit flies to understand how brain tumours spread
Active United Kingdom
Breast cancer
Researchers hope to reveal whether groundbreaking new drugs could stop breast cancer spreading which would make this common cancer much easier to treat.
Researcher: Professor Edward Tate
Blocking bio-parcels to stop breast cancer spreading
Active Greece
Bowel cancer
This project hopes to reveal vital new ways to stop bowel cancer developing by better understanding how cancer cells and healthy cells interact.
Researcher: Dr Vasiliki Koliaraki
Understanding how colorectal tumours hijack healthy cells
Complete Australia
Endometrial cancer
This project hopes to reveal how obesity and other factors increase the risk of endometrial cancer and to prevent people at risk from developing this disease.
Researcher: Dr Tracy O'Mara
What’s the risk? Predicting endometrial cancer using genetics and measures of obesity
Active Germany
Breast cancer
Researchers are trying to improve ways of spotting cancer that has spread to the lungs to help patients sooner and give them better treatment options.
Researcher: Dr Leif Schröder
Developing ultra-sensitive MRI that spots cancer sooner
Complete United Kingdom
Melanoma
Researchers hope to find new drug targets that could make immunotherapies more effective, making them a better option for more people with advanced melanoma.
Researcher: Dr Adam Hurlstone
Reversing resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors
Complete France
Breast cancer
Researchers hope to find better, more personalised treatments for breast cancer patients by identifying characteristics that predict how a tumour will behave.
Researcher: Dr Anne Vincent-Salomon
Using AI to predict drug resistance mutations in breast cancer
Active Italy
Lung cancer
In this project researchers are exploring a potentially groundbreaking new way to treat to lung cancer through a non-invasive, inhalable treatment.
Researcher: Dr Carla Lucia Esposito
Developing a new targeted treatment for lung cancer
Active Germany
Lung cancer
Researchers hope that exploring the effect of specific mutations on the development of lung cancer will pave the way for personalised treatments for patients.
Researcher: Professor Rocio Sotillo
Understanding why treatments don’t work for some non-smoking lung cancer patients
