Today is NF2 Awareness Day and NF2 BioSolutions UK & Europe has incredible news for all those affected by NF2!
NF2 BioSolutions UK & Europe, together with NF2 BioSolutions, are excited to announce a new transatlantic partnership with researchers at the newly opened Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre (GJBRC) to support research into the role of inflammation in NF2 tumour growth (Schwannomas and Meningiomas)
There is a real potential that this research will lead to new treatments for those affected by NF2 by repurposing existing anti-inflammatory & immune-modulating drugs!
The research led by Mr Omar Pathmanaban (Strategic Development lead, Neurosurgeon) and Dr Gareth Evans (World renowned NF2 expert and NF2 BioSolutions UK & Europe charity trustee), will be conducted by 2 PhD studentships funded by NF2 BioSolutions UK & Europe.
