Specific Themes:

  • Focus on advanced immunotherapies, tumour microenvironment manipulation, paediatric cancer therapeutics, and clinical dosing optimisation tools.

Research Categories:

  • Industrial research and experimental development projects.

Exclusions:

  • Therapeutic approaches for adult cancers outside of immuno-oncology scope.
