This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2014 with a primary purpose of translational and applied research: human cancer.

The following projects were granted:

• radiosensitisation of bladder tumours and normal tissues (bladder cancer, radiotherapy, radiosensitisation, normal tissue effects, orthotopic bladder model)

• using mechanical stimuli to move therapies into tumours and vaccines across the skin (tumour, vaccine, mechanical, delivery, ultrasound)

• virus based therapies in preclinical cancer models (adenovirus, cancer, oncolytic)

• in-house service production monoclonal antibodies (monoclonal antibodies, infections, disease, diagnostics, vaccination)

• engineering immunity to cancer (genetic modification, T-cells, cancer, therapy)

• the isolation of novel antibody therapeutics for the treatment of human disease (antibody, cartilaginous fish, therapeutic drug)

• molecular basis and theory of gynaecological cancer (ovarian cancer, gynaecological cancer, immunotherapy, chemotherapy)

• developing selective, novel cancer therapeutics (cancer, drug discovery, therapeutics, preclinical)

• targeting cancer stem cells and their micro environment (cancer stem cells, pancreatic cancer)

• imaging in drug discovery (non-invasive, medical imaging, drug discovery)

• the cause of resistance to treatment in human blood cancers (blood cancers, resistance, genome-damage)

• experimental cancer diagnosis and therapy (cancer, tumour, diagnosis, therapy, models)

• protecting stem cell and tissue function (stem cells, ageing, drug development, regeneration, mucositis)

• nanomedicine based drug delivery (nanotechnology, drug development, brain diseases, biologics)

• development of novel agents for cancer therapy (cancer, novel drugs)

• development of personalised anti-cancer strategies (cancer, drugs, translation, biomarkers, metastasis)

• micro environment signalling in cancer (cancer, micro environment, therapy)

• novel multifunctional phage for guided systemic cancer gene therapy

• evaluation of anti-cancer drugs (cancer, drugs)

• epithelial-stromal interaction in cancer (cancer, stroma, epithelium, breast, lung)

• biology of relapsed childhood leukaemia (leukaemia, drug-resistance, relapse, bone marrow micro environment)
