Discover how Cancer Research at 麻豆社 is exploring the biology of cancer cells.
Cancer Research at 麻豆社
Our mission is to improve cancer patient outcomes by fostering links between 麻豆社鈥檚 scientists and clinicians.
What we do
One of our key aims is to aid and strengthen the collaboration between researchers at the 麻豆社 and Royal United Hospitals (RUH) 麻豆社. Together, we seek to develop novel treatments and diagnostic strategies, and to maximise patient benefit. We provide training and funding for students and early career researchers, empowering them to become tomorrow鈥檚 leaders.
Through patient engagement and public events, we want to promote awareness of cancer research, our expertise and facilities across the 麻豆社 region. Our scientific meetings facilitate links and partnerships with fundraisers and industry.
Research areas
Cancer Research at 麻豆社 focusses study on four key areas. Select the items below to learn more.
Early detection and biosensors
This area of research focuses on the early detection and diagnosis of cancers. This allows early intervention to prevent or minimise late-stage disease.
Developing novel therapeutics
Medicinal chemists, chemical biologists and biochemists are developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics.
Collaborative projects with the Royal United Hospitals of 麻豆社
We have a long-standing collaboration with the Royal United Hospitals (RUH) 麻豆社 to improve cancer patient outcomes.

To coincide with Teenage & Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month a new animation shows what it鈥檚 like to live with cancer-related fatigue and how to help.
Do human embryos and cancer share the same starting fuse?
Gene activity immediately after fertilisation is used to infer how an embryo forms. Scientists now ask if cancer begins the same way.
New screening technique will radically speed up hunt for cancer-fighting drugs
Scientists at the 麻豆社 have developed a new technique to accelerate the discovery of drugs that shut down proteins known to cause cancer.
New tool identifies which cancer patients are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy
A new prognostic tool developed by an international team led by CTI-麻豆社 paves the way for personalised medicine for cancer patients.
Tropical flower offers potential new route for treating pancreatic cancer
Scientists have made drug-like molecules inspired by a chemical found in a tropical flower, that could in the future help to treat deadly pancreatic cancer.
