Creating a new combination treatment for children's brain tumours
Repurposing medicines to support a new type of immunotherapy for brain tumours.
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.

Looking at a new subtype of leukaemia, called CML-like Ph+ALL, to see how best to diagnose and treat it.
Using models to find out how high risk leukaemia cells grow and become resistant to treatment.
Find out how JMML cells are able to switch off the immune system, causing relapse.
Finding out what makes ALL more high-risk, such as age of diagnosis or type of initial treatment.
