Developing a new drug for the treatment of ALT-positive cancers
Dr Jon Elkins and Dr Anna Rose at the University of Oxford hope to develop a new drug which will affect vital ALT-positive cancer cell processes.
Finding the best way to make two cancer-targeting T cells for the price of one
Professor John Anderson at University College London hopes to develop a cost-effective CAR T-cell combination therapy.
Making CAR-T cells that can rest to improve their cancer-fighting ability
Professor John Anderson’s team at University College London Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health aim to revolutionise CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumours.
Understanding existing research about ambulatory chemotherapy for children and young people
Dr Jess Morgan at the University of York hopes to understand what we already know about using portable chemotherapy pumps for children with cancer.
Optimising drug treatment for childhood cancer patients
It is particularly difficult to treat some groups of childhood cancer patients, especially infants in their first weeks of life. This application is to fund this rapidly developing research programme for two years, involving the treatment of 150-200.
Understanding how childhood cancers spread
Looking at how cancer cells alter the scaffolding inside the body that organises cells in order to spread and make new tumours.
Making an ‘off-the-shelf’ CAR-T cell treatment for children with solid cancers
Creating an immunotherapy that can be delivered to patients more quickly and cost-effectively.
Understanding how a new drug can selectively fight childhood cancer cells
Testing a new type of targeted treatment that applies to multiple types of childhood cancers.
Rewriting cancer cell messages to slow down tumour growth
Testing medicines that can correct the genetic messages that help cancer cells grow out of control.
