Understanding how neuroblastoma and immune cells join forces
Studying how neuroblastoma cells and immune cells interact over time to see how the cancer adapts to treatment.
We have been funding expert research since 2016, aiming to ensure that every child and young person has a safe and effective treatment for their cancer, and that they can live long and happy lives post-treatment.
Studying how neuroblastoma cells and immune cells interact over time to see how the cancer adapts to treatment.
Testing a new type of targeted treatment that applies to multiple types of childhood cancers.
Looking at whether medicines that prevent circular DNA replication can help prevent relapse.
Looking at how cancer cells alter the scaffolding inside the body that organises cells in order to spread and make new tumours.
Looking at how brain tumours hijack immune cells, forcing them to support cancer growth instead of fighting it.
Testing medicines that can correct the genetic messages that help cancer cells grow out of control.
How the 3D shape of fusion gene genetic code affects cancer cell behaviour and whether shape-modifying medicines could mitigate these effects.
Assessing rhabdomyosarcoma risk prediction markers based on the biological conditions in the tumour, like low oxygen levels, few blood vessels, and genetics.
Looking at why ALCL sometimes relapses with a new targeted treatment, and understanding how to optimise this treatment approach.
