…ing by NK cells. This combination will enhance the effectiveness of NK cell-based therapies and bring long-lasting benefits, free of harmful side-effects, to patients with TNBC. Importantly, the approach could also be used for the treatment of patients with other forms of cancer. We are undertaking this project in collaboration with Professor Graham Pawelec at the University of Tübingen in Germany. We hope this research will contribute to the sear…
…o emerged as a promising alternative to conventional radiotherapy. Unlike x-rays, less radiation is lost as a proton beam travels through healthy tissue on course to the target tumour, and none after the tumour. This means much higher doses of radiation can be delivered without the risk of damaging healthy tissue. It has made it a preferred (and sometimes only) choice for treating cancers close to vital structures in the body such as the spinal co…

…er of people) and cancer. Aspirin response, like most drug responses, is genetically inherited. Some drugs like antibiotics have simple genetic kits to see if individuals will develop rare but serious side effects. That’s why our next step is to attract funding to develop a genetic kit which will allow us to test risk versus benefit of aspirin takers, and deepen our understanding of who may stand to gain from taking this pill every day.
