Cancer
Cancer is studied from several angles at NDM, from its epidemiology and potential causes, to its effect on patient lives and outcomes, as well as the basic science underpinning the unregulated cell growth that is the hallmark of the disease. Our Cancer podcasts illustrate the diversity of this research, and provide snapshots to the work of NDM scientists and clinicians to understand, treat and prevent cancer.

Episode Description People Date Captions
Epigenetic modifications and cancer Professor Skirmantas Kriaucionis aims to to elucidate the molecular function of DNA modifications in normal cells and cancer. Skirmantas Kriaucionis 14 December, 2016
Repairing DNA damage Dr Ross Chapman studies the molecular events triggered by DNA damage detection, and why defects in these events lead to immune deficiency and cancer in humans. Ross Chapman 28 April, 2016
Cleaning up misfolded proteins Misfolded proteins can either create the loss of a cellular function, or escape degradation, causing aggregation diseases. John Christianson 4 February, 2016
Targeting cancer mechanisms Professor Robert Gilbert's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying membrane pore formation and cell adhesion. Robert Gilbert 7 January, 2016
Melanoma Melanoma or skin cancer is one of the fastest rising cancer types. When identified early, melanoma is relatively easy to cure, but once it starts to metastasise, it becomes very difficult to treat. Colin Goding 5 October, 2015
Targeting epigenetics to treat cancer Transcription is a tightly regulated process, where chemical modifications initiate the duplication of genetic material. This epigenetic process is often dysregulated in cancer, but it can be targeted with small molecule inhibitors. Panagis Filippakopoulos 5 October, 2015
Human Cancer Genetics Dr Gareth Bond, Associate Member of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, studies the influence of genetic variants on the origins, progression and treatment of human cancer. Gareth Bond 11 March, 2015
Personalised Medicine Dr Jenny Taylor is the Programme Director for the Genomic Medicine Theme, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics. Her research bridges the gap between genetics research and the use of its discoveries in diagnosis or treatment of medical conditions. Jenny Taylor 9 February, 2015
Cancer predisposition and evolution Identifying genes that increase the risk of bowel or other cancers allows us to offer preventative measures, such as removing tumours at an early stage. A better understanding of how and why cancers grow also helps develop improved treatments. Ian Tomlinson 9 February, 2015
Cancer Informatics Cancer research now generates huge amounts of data, and sophisticated computational tools are needed to answer biological questions. Making sense of this variability at molecular level will help us better tailor treatments to individual cancer patients. Benjamin Schuster-Böckler 9 February, 2015
Cancer and innate immunity Inflammatory signalling Mads Gryd-Hansen 10 December, 2014
Stem cells and cancer Adult gastrointestinal stem cells Simon Leedham 10 December, 2014
Cancer Immunlogy Professor Vincenzo Cerundolo tells us how research in immunology leads to the development of new cancer treatments. Vincenzo Cerundolo 25 March, 2013
Cancer and regenerative medicine Professor Xin Lu talks about the links between cancer and regenerative medicine. Xin Lu 22 March, 2013
INDOX Cancer Research NetworK Dr Raghib Ali talks about INDOX, the cancer research network in India. Raghib Ali 9 October, 2012
Cancer Metabolism Dr Patrick Pollard tells us about his research on cancer metabolism. Patrick Pollard 10 July, 2012
Genome Integrity Dr Opher Gileadi tells us how cells maintain genome integrity and how we can use it in our fight against cancer. Opher Gileadi 1 June, 2012
Renal Disease Professor Chris Pugh tells us about the links between genetics, renal disease and oxygen sensing. Chris Pugh 11 October, 2011
Palliative Care Dr Bee Wee tells us about Palliative Care in Oxford and her research on end of life care and fatigue. Bee Wee 30 August, 2011
Cancer and Protein Crystallography Professor Yvonne Jones talks about cell-cell communication and how this can help us develop new drugs. Yvonne Jones 6 July, 2011
Role of Lifestyle and Diet in Cancer Professor Tim Key tells us about the role of life style and diet in the development of cancer. Tim Key 10 May, 2011
Autophagy Dr Katja Simon tells us about her research on autophagy in red blood cells. Katja Simon 26 April, 2011
