|  | Research projects based in Birmingham, Nottingham and other centres across the midlands are playing a key role in our fight to beat leukaemia and related blood disorders.
Professor Paul Moss, based at the Institute for Cancer Studies in Birmingham is working to increase the effectiveness of bone marrow transplants by learning how donor cells ‘recognise’ patient tissue. Professor Moss and his team hope to be able to grow immune cells from bone marrow donors that can be used to boost cancer-fighting effects with fewer side effects.
Local fundraisers are crucial to the continuing support of such groundbreaking research. An increasing number of fundraising events are taking place all over the midlands.
