the UCL Cancer Institute is one of three pioneering research programmes to benefit from an unprecedented £10 million in funding. Grants from
The Brain Tumour Charity totalling £5million will fund the
research programmes and are being matched by other charitable and public
sources. The milestone investment paves the way to transform the
diagnosis and treatment of both childhood and adult brain tumours, the
biggest cancer killer of people under 40.
The team at UCL, led by Professor Paolo Salomoni, will be exploring the
make-up of brain tumour cells to understand why they multiply so rapidly
and often resist treatments. The aim is to find molecular targets that
could be targeted by new or existing drugs to halt tumour growth.
