A fantastic example of the power of research 🔬 It has been incredible to work with Prof Darren Hargrave on this, from first chatting when the clinical trial results were published last year to learning that these amazing treatments would be recommended for use in the NHS.

We’re thrilled to see the first-ever targeted treatment for brain tumours in children approved for #NHS patients, after 20 years of dedicated research by GOSH consultant Professor Darren Hargrave 🌟

See how this new #cancer treatment came to be 👇

This has been such an incredible story to be a part of - seeing the work behind the scenes to get this test up and running and then to see the impact on patients like Kat has been a privilege❤️

“When I first heard my diagnosis, I spent a lot of time trying to understand if I did it to myself. Having these test results back gave me a sense of relief that there was no one to blame" - Kat

"After so many invasive procedures that provided no answers, it was so powerful to us that the information we needed came from a simple blood test.”– Sofie, Leo’s Mum

See how international #research with GOSH & @UCLChildHealth helped Leo's family understand his condition ...

@LaurenTedaldi and I first talked about creating a permanent research installation at @GreatOrmondSt way back in Autumn 2021.

It’s been a labour of love and it’s so exciting to finally see this in real life! Thank you to everyone that helped to get us to this point 😍😍

[Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children @GreatOrmondSt]

We've been working on something very exciting... 😍 And we can't wait to share it with you!

Huge thanks to the patients, families, advisory groups, GOSH staff networks and diversity and inclusion leads who helped us shape these new lift designs. 🤗

6 months ago, after all other treatments for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had failed, Alyssa became the first person in the world to receive base-edited cell therapy as part of a clinical trial at GOSH & @UCLchildhealth. Meet Alyssa & the research team behind the trial 👇

@its0kaytotalk It’s so true! That and the “make your own risk calculations” - cool literally no idea how to do that without doubting if it’s my OCD
