Brief description The transformation of normal white blood cells into leukaemic cells occurs as a result of changes to the genes of those cells. These changes are often characteristic of particular cancers and carry diagnostic and prognostic significance. This work will determine how critical some of the typical genetic changes of leukaemia are to the occurrence and persistence of cancer. Importantly, we will determine whether targeting these changes can provide new and effective approaches to treatment.
