Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
You may not realise it, but universities conduct a huge amount of cancer research. In fact, many of the larger cancer charities fund research projects at UK universities where the academic expertise and world class laboratories facilitate life changing discoveries. As well as undertaking cancer research, universities also train the next generation of medical researchers.
The University of Warwick is in an ideal position to do this research due to the links between Warwick Medical School and University Hospital Coventry. This means the research has a direct and practical impact on patients being treated.
Your donation will go directly towards cancer research taking place here at Warwick.
Projects include:
- Research into the issues that affect cancer sufferers every day, such as preventing hair loss
- Targeting the cell changes that cause cancer
- Colon cancer detection
- Breast cancer research
- Ovarian cancer research
On campus and race day
