Haematology and Lymphoid Malignancies

Clinical research includes classical Hodgkin lymphoma, relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, Richter transformation, multiple myeloma, and primary central nervous system lymphoma. The portfolio also covers high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and treatment approaches for older or frail patients.

  • Classical Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
  • Richter transformation
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Primary CNS lymphoma

Research activity spans immunotherapy, BTK inhibition, BCL2-targeted therapy, and anti-CD20-based combinations across aggressive and indolent haematological disease.

Ophthalmology and Corneal Disease

Trials address corneal neovascularization in aniridia-associated keratopathy and herpetic keratopathy, with interest in preserving corneal structure before high-risk keratoplasty. The work also includes pathological vascularisation affecting transplant candidacy.

  • Corneal neovascularization
  • Aniridia-associated keratopathy
  • Herpetic keratopathy
  • High-risk keratoplasty

Research in this area focuses on anti-neovascular eye treatments and corneal surface preservation strategies.

Rare Genetic and Neurological Disorders

Investigator-initiated studies include GNAO1-associated disorders, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and neuroblastoma. These programmes reflect interest in inherited disease mechanisms and paediatric oncology.

  • GNAO1-associated disorders
  • Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
  • Low- and intermediate-risk neuroblastoma

Therapeutic areas include orphan neurological disease, renal disease, and risk-adapted paediatric treatment.

Solid Tumours and Thoracic Oncology

Research extends to small-cell lung cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma with oligometastatic liver involvement. The oncology portfolio also includes treatment strategies for advanced or metastatic solid tumours.

  • Small-cell lung cancer
  • Pancreatic adenocarcinoma
  • Hepatic oligometastatic disease

Key therapeutic interests include checkpoint inhibition, maintenance therapy, and curative-intent multimodal treatment in solid tumour care.
