Funded Activity Summary

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a fatal form of blood cancer. The survival of patients with AML remains poor and this is due to the return of disease after chemotherapy (relapse). Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are the major cause of relapse and we study how LSCs are regulated. This will provide valuable input into the development of novel therapeutic strategies to target therapy-resistant LSCs and improve AML outcome.
