Active research programmes: 
Dr. Conroy ‘s research aims are to improve survival for patients with poor prognosis cancers. Dr Conroy’s Upper GI Research Programme focuses on improving outcomes for patients with cancers of the oesophagus and stomach. Her aim is to achieve this through the development of novel therapies to enhance the anti-cancer immune response and overcome the detrimental effects of obesity-associated inflammation. Her Glioblastoma Research Programme investigates the potential of new drugs to sensitise brain tumours to current first line treatments, novel immunotherapeutic approaches, and novel routes of administration to improve delivery across the blood-brain barrier.
