The race so far...

The success of The Bob Champion Cancer Trust in the research field owes much to our policy of rapid assessment for funding of carefully selected research projects, thereby opening the way to early investigation of any potential advances in treatment.

EVENTS & NEWS
Message From Bob Champion MBE

With this site comes special thanks to all our fundraisers; I appreciate your continued hard work on our behalf, without which we would not be able to support the wonderful research team at our laboratory.

I would very much like to encourage interested fundraisers to take up the challenge of helping to raise valuable funds for the Trust. I know that both Lucy and Kate will be delighted to discuss any ideas you may have to assist our efforts.

May I take this opportunity of wishing you all well and I hope we can meet at one of our future events.

Bob Champion, MBE

Reducing The Odds - Update

The Bob Champion Scientific team has made good progress in establishing its prostate stem cell research programmes, collaborating with another team, who are world experts in MICROARRAY technology, which allows them to examine the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously and to look for new markers of prostate stem cells. We hope that these experiments will produce some very exciting results and we will keep you posted. Our Team Leader, David Hudson, has had two reviews on the teams work published in the medical journals and has had a paper accepted for publication, which is a great achievement. We have had a busy fundraising year thanks to you all and have many events planned for the future, which we hope you will feel able to support.
