Research Projects
Professor Richard Bayford, the Team Leader, is an international pioneer at the forefront of the development of Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) which he is already using to image and monitor neonatal lung function.
Investigations into the use of Gold Nanoparticles for cancer therapy.
A Research Council worth £1.7 million to exploit and adapt EIT to the imaging of colorectal cancer.
Research using EIT for the detection of Breast Cancer.
Work targeting and imaging brain glioblastoma tumours using a variety of antibody fragments with tumour specificity.
Research to show that the ectopic hCG is the factor responsible for these changes and growth of cancer in healthy cells.
Research into delivery/ generation mechanisms using gold nano particles to deliver vaccines to cancer cells and the beneficial effects of hCG vaccination on colorectal tumours.
Work on the anti-papilloma virus activity of a Chinese arsenical drug which has been passed by the Regulators in Canada for therapy of leukaemia.
Research which provides scientific validation for using these naturally occurring products to treat these rare but devastating tumours.
Research to enable multiple serum cancer markers to be identified in a single test utilising diagnostic microarrays.
Work which has enabled us to use middle T-antigen not only to identify proteins involved in tumorigenesis, but also as a probe in determining how these signal transduction pathways function in both normal and abnormal conditions.
