1. Glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer)
We are working with Brain Research UK and this has led to a successful application for a Studentship in Glioblastoma at the University of Dundee and we are supporting work at the University of Edinburgh.
3. Prevention of stroke
Along with TENOVUS Scotland we are supporting work at the University of Strathclyde into possible ways of reducing the likelihood of bleeds in the brain – known as hemorrhagic stroke.
“It is a well known fact that new medical treatments take a long time to be evaluated for use on patients and trials can be hugely expensive. For researchers to get major funding, they need to do preliminary work to convince reviewers and this is where we come in by providing early stage grants of around £10,000.”
