So grateful to @bloodcancer_uk for funding research in #AML @haematology_CU. Without the fundraising and support from patients and family we would not be making the good progress we have seen in the last decade to #beatbloodcancer. @DCGResearch @CUBLSResearch @cardiffuni
20 May 2024
Professor Alex Tonks and his team from Cardiff University have found a protein that is altered in people with AML.
We want to thank you, the Blood Cancer UK community for helping us to conduct this life-saving research.
