Research projects

This project could uncover new ways to help predict who would benefit from an existing breast cancer treatment, and improve its effectiveness for more patients.  

This project is hoping to find smarter and kinder ways to treat breast cancer by destroying cancer cells in a  different way from other cancer treatments.

Since breast cancer is one of the most common cancers, researchers are hoping to find vital treatments by targeting a type of cell involved in cancer growth. 

Exploring how ‘messages’ sent from cancer cells to other parts of the body might help cancers to spread and whether new cures could stop this process.

Stopping breast cancer spreading would make it much easier to treat so this project is exploring a molecule that appears to stop tumours spreading.

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 discover more about the biology of how solid tumours develop to find new ways to prevent, diagnose or treat these cancers.

The team hope that by understanding how different mutations contribute to breast cancer, they can reveal new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat it.  

Researchers hope to reveal whether groundbreaking  new drugs could stop breast cancer spreading which would make this common cancer much easier to treat.
