Current causes & prevention projects
In 2006 we committed funding of more than £2.4 million to new research investigating the causes of childhood leukaemia.
This funding includes a new programme of epidemiological research by the Childhood Cancer Research Group at the University of Oxford and eight new project grants.
We are also continuing our commitment to a major programme at the University of Bristol, led by Professor Denis Henshaw.
In addition, we are funding a number of other projects in the field. Please click below to find out more.
