Paediatric Hepatic International Tumour Trial
Developing more effective treatments for patients who have a low chance of survival, while reducing treatment and side effects for other patients.
Investigating how regulatory regions of the genome communicate with cancer causing genes
Finding which regulatory regions of the genome are causing leukaemia by acting on the wrong gene
Developing less toxic therapies for children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Our proposal will deliver novel, less toxic targeted therapies with the potential to advance current treatment regimens for B-ALL. This will improve current outcomes, reduce side-effects in B-ALL patients and ultimately lead to a better quality of life for patients and their families.
Improving bone marrow transplant for patients with high-risk leukaemia
Investigating a new method to improve the success of bone marrow transplants, using a different type of blood cells.
Designing better treatments for paediatric ependymoma
Immunotherapy could be a potential treatment for ependymoma. To make immunotherapy effective we need to know more about how ependymoma works.
