Today marks the first day of Teenage & Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month.
Ruby’s Fund aims to find kinder, more effective treatments for blood cancer in children and young people.
It’s fantastic to see this article published about research Ruby’s Fund is enabling.
As Dr Russell, leading the research, says “The new knowledge we gain from this work will provide opportunities to develop new ways of killing leukaemia cells. By targeting the change in the genetic code itself, we hope that future treatment options will be kinder, with fewer long-term effects on the health of children and young adults as they get older.”

Great to see the new UK Collaborative for Cancer Research launched today, helping to fill the gap left by the closure of the National Cancer Research Institute 1/3
Today, on #WorldCancerDay, a new UK Collaborative for Cancer Clinical Research has launched. It will support charities to convene expertise from across the cancer research landscape, to identify strategic priorities and cross-cutting areas of unmet need. bit.ly/3WN4PQm
ALT “Charities provide two thirds of public investment in cancer research in the UK. The UK Collaborative for Cancer Clinical Research, hosted by the AMRC, will support cancer charities in bringing together their clinical research communities and making connections. The Collaborative will also help to identify joint priorities, tackle shared challenges and maximise opportunities for innovation.”
