Using ‘fingerprints’ to understand the best ways to treat chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are blood cancers that have differences within and between each person. Professor Pepper wants to understand the specific features that cause these blood cancer cells to grow out of control and to understand why some cells aren’t destroyed by current treatments.

Understanding more about the alterations in our cells that can cause myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are both types of blood cancer that can occur when the process which repairs damaged blood cells goes wrong. Dr Quek wants to understand more about this to develop better treatments for people with these diseases.
