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.
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.
