Available projects

  • Biomarker Characterisation in Renal Cell Carcinoma

    This project aims to characterise protein expression in renal cell carcinoma and identify novel targets with high sensitivity and specificity for various subtypes of kidney tumours. There are many translational applications of high sensitivity and specificity molecular targets, including therapeutic, radiological and histopathological.

  • Primary Kidney Cancer Cell Culture Projects

    This project involves cell culture of primary cancer cells, to develop in vivo models of disease. This may allow testing of therapeutic agents, with long term translational goals to guide personalised medicine.
