Developing cancer tumours shed microscopic amounts of information into our bloodstream and deciphering these messages provides new ways to diagnose and treat it

Cancer treatment is largely based on where it originates in the body, but when a primary site can’t be found, genomics is helping guide diagnosis and treatment for cancers of unknown origin

Mapping the human genome is revolutionising medicine. The aim? To turn cancer into a manageable, chronic disease like diabetes

Scientists around the world have collaborated to create the most comprehensive map of whole cancer genomes to date, improving our fundamental understanding of cancer and how to treat it

Genome sequencing may provide the solution to cancer treatment and prevention

Genome sequencing and precision therapies are on the way to making cancer a manageable condition rather than a lethal one, and may even make it preventable

Professor Sean Grimmond is bringing groundbreaking genome-directed cancer research into the clinical space to change the way we treat cancer.

Scientists uncover the genetic script that drives pancreatic tumours, opening the door on new personalised treatments for a deadly disease
