Researchers funded by Saving Faces awarded Proof of Concept funding (£50000) from QMUL to develop new technology to better identify head and neck cancers caused by HPV

Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) researcher Professor Ahmad Waseem (Institute of Dentistry) and his team are developing a novel way to identify the increasing number of HPV-driven head and neck cancers. This is vital for improving cancer patient care as HPV related tumours have a much better outcome than those caused by other factors such as alcohol, tobacco or areca nut consumption. Personalisation of treatment using this new technology may also allow for less invasive ‘de-intensified’ treatment strategies with fewer side-effects.
