£2m investment supporting researchers to understand and treat cancers with exceptionally poor survival rates, including of the brain, lung and oesophagus.
Four research innovation teams will each receive £500,000 to work across disciplines on high-risk, high-reward projects towards improving outcomes of hard-to-treat cancers.
The projects were selected following a two-day ‘sandpit’ event designed to promote new conversations and create teams of researchers across scientific disciplines from clinical, biomedical, engineering, physical and data sciences.
The teams co-developed innovative ideas and solutions to advance cancer research including for prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
