Cancer

Cancer research activity within SBBS is focused on the identification, mechanistic anchoring and clinical validation of molecular determinants of tumour progression, with a particular interest in biomarker discovery/translation and drug development to facilitate precision therapy.
SBBS cancer researchers are centrally involved in flagship nationally-funded cancer research programmes, for example the SFI-funded strategic research cluster (opens in a new window)(opens in a new window)Molecular Therapeutics for Cancer Ireland, and the Irish Cancer Society’s first collaborative cancer research centre,(opens in a new window)(opens in a new window) Breast-Predict.
