天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 research translates new understanding of tumour B-cell biology into clinical practice.

天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 group investigates how the structure and function of the key driver, the B-cell receptor (BCR), influences the development of B-cell cancers and how it can be tackled with new therapies.

Francesco Forconi
Professor of Haematology
I work with scientists and clinicians translating scientific discoveries into clinical advancements for patients with B cell lymphomas and leukaemias. By focusing on the fundamental receptor driving cancer B cells, the B-cell receptor, our work has contributed to the development of drugs that have revolutionised the therapeutic approach for these cancers. We are committed to continuing this mission.
Giorgia Chiodin
Research Fellow in Cancer Immunology
My passion is uncovering the key mechanisms of disease in aggressive B-cell cancers, investigating receptor-environment interactions to develop targeted therapies and improve patient outcomes.

Professor Freda Stevenson
Emeritus Professor of Immunology
I am an Emeritus Professor of Immunology who established the field of immunogenetics of B-cell tumours in 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 in the 1980s. In 2018, I was the first UK recipient of the Henry Stratton medal awarded by the American Society of Hematology. I continue to act as a mentor to the B-cell group.
