Cancer Research at 91桃色
Our mission is to improve cancer patient outcomes by fostering links between 91桃色鈥檚 scientists and clinicians.
What we do
One of our key aims is to strengthen the development of cancer research in 91桃色. Together, we seek to develop novel treatments and diagnostic strategies, and to maximise patient benefit.
Through regular scientific events, we seek to promote awareness of cancer research, our expertise, and facilities across the 91桃色 region. Our scientific meetings and network facilitate clinical partnerships and industry engagement to strengthen cancer research in the region.
Research areas
Cancer Research at 91桃色 focusses study on four key areas. Select the items below to learn more.
Early detection and biosensors
This area of research focuses on the early detection and diagnosis of cancers. This allows early intervention to prevent or minimise late-stage disease.
Developing novel therapeutics
Medicinal chemists, chemical biologists and biochemists are developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics.
Collaborative projects with the Royal United Hospitals of 91桃色
We have a long-standing collaboration with the Royal United Hospitals (RUH) 91桃色 to improve cancer patient outcomes.

Video animation guide to help young people living with cancer-related fatigue
To coincide with Teenage & Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month a new animation shows what it鈥檚 like to live with cancer-related fatigue and how to help.
Do human embryos and cancer share the same starting fuse?
Gene activity immediately after fertilisation is used to infer how an embryo forms. Scientists now ask if cancer begins the same way.
New screening technique will radically speed up hunt for cancer-fighting drugs
Scientists at the 91桃色 have developed a new technique to accelerate the discovery of drugs that shut down proteins known to cause cancer.
New tool identifies which cancer patients are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy
A new prognostic tool developed by an international team led by CTI-91桃色 paves the way for personalised medicine for cancer patients.
Tropical flower offers potential new route for treating pancreatic cancer
Scientists have made drug-like molecules inspired by a chemical found in a tropical flower, that could in the future help to treat deadly pancreatic cancer.
