Our research projects

Detect Early. Treat better. Save lives.

Our research funding supports projects in two key areas; early detection and treatment, where breakthroughs are desperately needed in order to achieve our ambition of doubling survival rates.  

From cutting-edge detection tests and world-first sample collections, to new cancer-killing therapies and improved monitoring of those most at risk, our researchers are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to drive forward the research breakthroughs that will enable us to detect earlier, treat better and save thousands of lives every year.
