Research projects

Dr Eileen Parkes and her team in Oxford want to better understand the genetics of a very aggressive type of oesophagogastric cancer. They hope they will find a way to tell how and when a cancer will become resistant to treatment and most crucially how to overcome this resistance. 

Thanks to Curetarters this team in Germany are exploring a creative new cure for a cancer that affects children and teenagers.

Thanks to curestarter donations, this research team in Wales want to create more vital treatment options for bowel cancer. They will explore the relationship between cancer cells and immune cells to develop new immunotherapies that will hopefully be effective for a wider range of patients.

Thanks to you, this team are investigating why healthy skin cells can turn in to skin cancer- and searching for valuable hidden paths that could one day lead to brand new cures.

Professor Harvey and his team are investigating an exciting new class of drugs that could be a cure for mesothelioma – an aggressive, and currently incurable, disease. 

Dr Fernandez-Cuesta and her team at IARC-WHO, located in France wants to find a way to stop an aggressive form of lung cancer – known as small-cell lung cancer - before it appears.
