Developing pH-responsive Polymeric Nanovaccine by RAFT Emulsion Technique for Head and Neck cancer Immunotherapy
In this project supported by the Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund, Warwick Chemistry PhD student Mingchao Li aims to develop a special kind of treatment called a polymeric nanovaccine to fight head and neck cancer.
Improving cancer medicine with Medical and Life Sciences Research funding.
Understanding the mechanism of cancer spreading to improve our treatment and therapeutics in cancer medicine.
Developing polymeric nanovaccine for chemoimmunotherapy in head and neck cancer.
Dr. Rajendrakumar is an early career researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick. He is an expert in the field of nano-immune-engineering, in which he has developed nanomaterials to activate, program and reinstate optimal immune system function in cancer and inflammation. The Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund are very pleased to support Dr. Rajendrakumar in his research.
Early diagnosis of Liver Cancer - 2
The fastest rising cause of cancer in the UK is liver cancer. The Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund is supporting a large study with the aim to crucially enable liver cancer to be detected earlier.
Cellular control via circadian clock
Dr James Jarrold of University of Warwick is using Medical and Life Sciences Research funding to learn more about how the circadian clock is linked to cell survival and other aspects of breast cancer.
Medical and Life Sciences supporting Macmillan Therapist in head and neck cancer therapy
Studying a step change in therapy options to improve the quality of life of lymphoedema patients.
Increasing survival by early detection of pancreatic cancer
The aim of this Medical and Life Sciences funded research is to determine whether it is possible to detect pancreatic cancer at an early stage from a CT scan using imaging and deep learning tools.
Breast cancer reconstruction advancement using a novel gel matrix
The Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund is very pleased to support a significant collaboration between University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, University of Warwick and the University of Birmingham to improve breast cancer reconstruction.
Early diagnosis of liver cancer
Medical and Life Sciences Research funded trials with University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire and Leicester Royal Infirmary aim to aid in early diagnosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
ATAC on tumour time: Defining the time-of-day variation in the cistrome of solid tumours
The biological clock, a.k.a. the circadian timing system, modulates behavior and physiology and synchronises human beings to the environmental cycles of night and day. For example, blood pressure rises along with heart rate even before we wake up to prepare us for getting out of bed.
