Identifying which nutrients may cause or protect against prostate cancer
Our research hypothesises that folate, vitamin B12, & iron may increase cancer risk; selenium, vitamin D, E & lycopene may protect against
Does the age you are obese matter?
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of death from prostate cancer, but the underlying causes are poorly understood

Do different ingredients or cooking methods generate DNA building blocks that promote bowel cancer?
Different ingredients, and cooking and preservation methods, may generate DNA building blocks called non-canonical nucleotides, which could enter cells and cause mutations
Identifying the influence of the microbiome and metabolome on intestinal stem cells
We aim to find out if bacteria affect the behaviour of normal and cancerous intestinal stem cells.

High soy intake in early-life linked to lower breast density
New findings suggest that soy consumption during childhood and adolescence is associated with lower breast density in adulthood, a predictor of lower breast cancer risk.
Staying active after cancer: why the first year may need more support
New research involved participants wearing an activity monitor to provide a picture of movement, sitting and sleep across everyday life.
Are colon cancer subtypes linked to a greater risk of recurrence – and could diet be relevant?
A particular colon cancer subtype, imCMS4, was linked to the highest risk of recurrence, and a more ‘pro-inflammatory’ diet was associated with greater recurrence risk in this same subgroup.
