Ground-breaking news: The UK has approved gene-editing drug for blood disorders; sickle-cell disease and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. We are delighted to see this news, as it will have a profound impact on the quality of life for patients who receive this treatment.
Our MSc Immunology students heard the 'Story of a paper - The hidden side of science' for their teaching session with @juliemakani and Dr Sophie Rutschmann.
Our masters programme in #immunology is open for applications.
