A local charity has pledged its continued support of brain tumour research at uclan by donating £30,000 to fund a PhD student
A local charity has pledged its continued support of brain tumour research at the University of Central Lancashire by funding a second PhD student for the next three years.Inbetweenears, a member charity of the national charity Brain Tumour Research, has worked with UCLan for the last 11 years to fund research projects.
Dr Jane Alder, Deputy Head of School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences at UCLan, said: “This amazing donation will be used to fund Eleanor to participate in a new collaboration called Gliomodel, set up by Dr Lucy Stead at the University of Leeds. “Currently less than 12 per cent of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond five years, compared with an average of 50 per cent across all cancers. I dearly hope that Eleanor’s research will help lead to a greater understanding of effective ways of treating patients.”
The previous Inbetweenears sponsored research project supported UCLan student Klaudia Rzepecka to investigate the biology of the blood-brain barrier in a model that was made from human cells donated by patients who have undergone brain surgery. This model is now being used in several other brain tumour research projects in the lab.
