Learn about the work our research groups are doing and the people involved.

Blood stem cells and Leukaemia: developmental signalling and niche

The Blood Stem Cells and Leukaemia research group studies the regulation of human normal versus malignant blood development.

Targeting Metastasis

The Targeting Metastasis group focuses on identifying novel therapeutic strategies to eliminate or modify the cancer cells responsible for the spread of tumours around the body.

Cell-cell interactions in early carcinogenesis

This research group focuses on the earliest stages of cancer in epithelial tissues.

The Skin Cancer Programme

The Skin Cancer Programme uses skin cancer stem cell models to find new ways to prevent, detect and develop novel therapies for all cancer types.

Understanding the links between diet and cancer

This research group focuses on identifying how dietary components alter the behaviour of normal and cancerous stem cells.

Leukaemic Stem Cells

The Leukaemic Stem Cells group focusses on understanding and therapeutically targeting leukaemic stem cells in acute myeloid leukaemia.

Cancer and Cell Signalling

The Cancer and Cell Signalling research group investigates the requirement of cell signalling during homeostasis, to identify novel therapeutic targets and strategies for the treatment of cancer.

Astroglia Cell Biology

This research group investigates transcriptional regulation of cell plasticity in normal and transformed astrocytes.
