(MCRC Non-Clinical) Personalising Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer Through Mathematical Modelling.

Radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still largely one-size-fits-all — dose and fractionation are set by tumour stage and performance status, despite variation in how individual tumours actually behave. Read more

(MCRC Clinical)Shaping early post-transplant inflammation to strengthen graft-versus- leukaemia

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only cure for most patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukaemia. It works because donor immune cells recognise and destroy residual leukaemia, an effect known as graft-versus-leukaemia (GvL). Read more

Predicting Cell State from Chromatin Architecture to Understand Cancer Initiation and Progression

Chromatin structure regulates gene expression and underlies cell identity. Mutations in chromatin regulators are frequently observed in cancer, leading to alterations in chromatin structure, genomic interactions, and modifications. Read more
