Using genetics to understand why acute myeloid leukaemia cells don’t respond to treatment
Looking at the genetics of bone marrow samples to see which genes affect resistance 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.
