Overview

The Haematology and Leukaemia programme from University of Liverpool is one of Liverpool’s recognised academic strengths. Focused on therapy failure due to resistance or intolerance, our research in haematology and leukaemia:

Encompasses laboratory, clinical, health data and cross-disciplinary approaches

Exploits our unique platform technologies, sample collections and datasets

Incorporates strong patient involvement and integration with the regional clinical and diagnostic service.

Research Interests

Laboratory research – identifying biological factors that influence treatment outcomes. Scientific themes are B cell receptor signalling, 17p aberrations, non-coding RNAs and non-malignant T cells. Projects are enabled by our unique sample collections which are linked to multiple clinical trials and observational studies

Clinical research – evaluating blood cancer treatment in selected patient cohorts. We lead several national clinical trials and observational studies in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma

Health data research – understanding blood cancer treatment at population level. We lead UNCOVER, a national health data research programme that uses routinely collected NHS data from approximately 300,000 patients with all types of blood cancer

Cross-disciplinary research – research involving blood cancer and other specialties. We are co-leading multiple areas of collaborative research involving molecular diagnostics, imaging, drug safety science, cardiology and infectious diseases.

Research topics

Research topics will be discussed and developed jointly with applicants to align interests and expectations and ensure deliverability in the context of a constantly changing research environment. Potential topics are outlined below.

Programme Structure

Research themes include:

In Chronic Lymphocyte Leukeamia (CLL) Protein Kinase C (PKC) and c-abl in B-cell receptor signalling have been found to be important in the selection and perpetuation of the malignant clone

In hairy cells constitutive PKC-dependent ERK activation has been identified as central to malignant cell survival and oxidant production by NOX-5 has been shown to be of importance in constitutive activation

Current work is focused on defining CLL subgroups on the basis of signalling profiles, on the control of adhesion-receptor expression in CLL and on the oncogenic origin of the constitutive signals of hairy cells

Translational work has identified Akt and Hsp90 as worthy molecular targets for novel therapy

The Clinical Trials Advisory and Awards Committee (CTAAC) -funded PACIFIC [RiChFlo] phase III trial will compare two different induction regimens for follicular lymphoma.
