US based friends and colleagues... We have a widening access programme (Generation Research) to help students close the opportunity gap in research.

Our US alumni group set an £11K challenge to get 50 US donors... it doesn't matter if it's $1 or $1000, just 50 donors - can you help?

Many years of work across many people in lab + collaborators have come together. Low cell number proteomics allows us to identify ECM molecules as potential triggers of clonal selection in HSCs.
