So many people to thank for a successful Amber Ball, and so proud to have raised such a significant amount for our brain tumour research programme at Imperial College. Thanks to everyone concerned for helping us one step closer to finding a cure for brain tumours!
STORIES
Read about some people whose lives have been touched by brain tumours – we hope you feel as inspired by them as we do!
Celebrity chef beats brain cancer
My name is John Lawson and I’m a Chef. I’ve been a Chef all my life. When other children were reading comic books, I was reading books about Food. I loved Food! I grew up in a working -class family in Essex, enjoying my Mum’s home cooking. The little boy me could never have imagined how much Food would shape my entire life, and eventually, save it.
RESEARCH
Our brain tumour research programme is possibly one of the most comprehensive in the world. Its aim is to look at every possibility to improve the outlook for brain tumour patients by producing rapid “translational” research, ie research that translates into treatments as quickly as possible. We have examined every aspect of the patient pathway from diagnosis through treatment to survival and have identified areas that require improvement to achieve this.
RESEARCH SECTIONS:
Collaborations
The best research comes through exchanging ideas and collaborating with other institutions, both nationally and internationally.
