Can we stop early breast cancer before it turns invasive?

We're funding new research at @EdinburghUni, where Dr Takanori Kitamura is investigating if blocking certain immune cells could prevent DCIS from becoming invasive.

Truly saddened by the passing of Jeff who was an inspirational scientist, fantastic mentor & wonderful person. It is a privilege having worked with Jeff over the last few years and will always be thankful for the time in his lab, which was always a little brighter with him around

[Pollard Lab @JPollardLab]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our group leader, Prof. Jeffrey Pollard. Jeff was a passionate scientist and an outstanding mentor who will be sorely missed. We will continue his legacy through our ongoing research. Our thoughts are with his wife Ooi Thye and the family.
