Cancer Research
Our research is aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular basis of cancer to develop better ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating the disease.
Genome stability is one major focus of our work - several of our research groups are studying how cells maintain the integrity of their DNA and how these processes can become disrupted in cancer.
We also have several groups who are interested in how other important cellular processes become disrupted in cancer and whether these can be targeted to develop new treatments or used as biomarkers to improve diagnosis.
We work closely with local charity North West Cancer Research, who fund both staff and individual projects in the Division.
