Debbie Fund Research

Inside the lab: the progress of the research. Watch our film here. See how research is progressing and how vitally important this research is.
Research into treatments for cervical cancer continues to be very encouraging, taking the project a step closer to the clinic.

The aim of the Debbie Fund antibody project? To provide a new means of delivering a toxic payload direct to cervical cancer tumour cells without damaging surrounding healthy cells- a “magic bullet” for cervical cancer.
Debbie Fund Genomics Project
This ground breaking work continues. Debbie Fund researchers have recently published early findings about how the blueprint stored in our DNA becomes corrupted, leading to the development of cervical cancer. We are now trying to learn more about this process, and how this knowledge could help us to identify individuals at increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
We are also looking at the epigenetics of cervical cancer. Read more.
The Debbie Fund genomics project is funded thanks to generous support from ICAP
