Ways to help
Last year, Caroline Paradise and her friends ran the Berlin Marathon in aid of BRIGHT whilst Austin Reynolds and his friends cycled from John O’Groats to Lands End. More recently, those of us who are not quite so fit joined in a sponsored Charity walk at Hatchlands. Attending one of our events is a great way to help.
Upcoming projects
We are continuing our important work in pancreatic cancer to get a thorough analysis of how HOX genes are expressed in this disease, both in cells and in patients, and also to see whether the HXR9 peptide might be a useful treatment to take forward into the clinic.
