The home of Blood Cancer and Stem Cell research at the University of Nottingham

Welcome to the Blood Cancer and Stem Cell (BCASC) Research Group, part of the Centre for Cancer Sciences based at the world-leading interdisciplinary Biodiscovery Institute.

With a particular focus on Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and Myeloma, we are seeking to understand how survival of these cells is regulated so that we can find novel therapeutic intervention strategies.
