Our vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering. To achieve this, our research programs attack childhood cancer on several fronts:

Cancer Cell Development
Investigating the replication of cancer cells and how to stop cancer cell division.

Experimental Therapeutics
Finding better treatments

Histone Modification
Understanding gene transcription in cancer formation and developing molecularly targeted cancer therapies

Leukaemia Biology
Understanding leukaemia

Long Term Follow Up
Following up childhood cancer survivors

Minimal Residual Disease 
Determining the risk of relapse for children with leukaemia

Molecular Carcinogenesis
Investigating the formation and progression of cancer

Molecular Diagnostics
Improving diagnosis and investigating prevention\

Tumour Biology and Targeting
Understanding and overcoming drug resistance and developing less toxic therapy
