Research projects

This project hopes to discover new ways of preventing people with an inherited risk of a particularly aggressive form of leukaemia from developing the disease.

Understanding how healthy cells support the survival and growth of lymphoma will ultimately lead to the development of essential new treatments.

This project will hopefully reveal new molecular targets for drugs to make immunotherapy work better  for more cancer patients in the future.

Breast cancer is much harder to treat once it spreads so the team hope to better understand the processes through which tumours spread and find new ways to stop it.

Children born with some disorders are prone to developing lymphoma so this project hopes to better understand why and improve outcomes for these children.

Survival rates for lung cancer vary considerably so this project aims to improve survival rates by discover new ways to diagnosis and treat aggressive lung cancers.

This team hope to make discoveries about the immune system that will kickstart new treatments, making them successful for more patients in the future. 

Late stage sarcomas remain very hard to treat and not enough is understood about them, so this project hopes to be the starting point for vital new sarcoma cures.

Researchers hope to find ways for immunotherapy to help more patients by learning how cancer cells hide from the immune system and stopping them hiding.
