Research projects

Thanks to you, Dr Sandro Coscanati is exploring a new way to target some of the hardest to treat cancers, including brain and bone cancer. 

Thanks to you, Dr Paola Scaffidi and her team in Italy have come up with an ingenious new way to spot which genetic changes in cells actually drive cancer which they hope will lead to new life-saving cures. 

Thanks to Curestarters, this innovative team in Italy are investigating potential new ways to target kidney cancer.

Thanks to you this team in the Netherlands are investigating how inflammation can lead to bowel cancer, and how to stop it. 

Thanks to you, this innovative team are searching for a way to help more patients with an aggressive blood cancer benefit from a cutting-edge new cancer treatment

Thanks to curestarter support, Professor Cynthia Miranti and her team in the United States are using a novel bioengineering method to work out exactly why prostate cancer often spreads to the bone. They hope to improve diagnosis and create better treatments for patients with advanced prostate cancer. 

Thanks to curestarter donations, Dr Julien Sage and his team in the US are developing a new treatment to help boost the power of immunotherapy for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). 

Thanks to curestarter donations Professor Julian Downward and his Curestarter team in London will apply cutting edge technology to create a pioneering cancer vaccine for lung cancer. 

Thanks to you, this exciting research in Switzerland is looking at a new drug combination for some of the most common cancers.
