£566k Follow-on award secured for research into personalising cancer therapy
Dr Simon Mitchell has secured a three-year UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship Renewal Award. His research combines computer modelling and lab experiments to personalise cancer treatment. During their Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF), Dr Mitchell’s team previously predicted which lymphoma patients might not respond to standard therapies. This new funding will test the approach in other cancers.
