Under the microscope

Farjana Rowther is the latest addition to our team of researchers at the Brain Tumour UK Neuro-Oncology Research Centre at the University of Wolverhampton. The 31-year-old postdoctoral research fellow, who started a three-year posting in May 2010, will screen for genes responsible for the resistance to chemotherapy drugs in patients with glioblastomas.

To tour our labs and talk to our scientists, visit our Open Day on 30 October between 11am and 3pm. RSVP to: fundraising@braintumouruk.org.uk to book your place.

Call a friend

If you would like the chance to chat to a small group of people with similar issues, share your experiences and have your questions answered, why not join our brand new Phone Pals Plus service?

Phone Pals Plus is free and will run over four sessions starting this month. Each session will be an hour long and will focus on one topic. The discussions will be run by a helpline team member and experts will be on hand to answer your questions after the first session.

To find out more, call us on 0845 4500 386 or visit our website.
