Funding (CR@B)

Due to generous donations from Tocris, the University of Bath Alumni Fund, the Walter Guinness Charitable Trust and individual contributions, we are able to offer limited funding for cancer related research. 

Details of previous activities funded by CR@B can be found here.

From generous funding, CR@B was able to fund several seedcorn grants for projects or other activities relating to cancer research. We were able to fund up to £2500 specific to prostate cancer research and £2500 in other cancers. Awards were made on a competitive basis and the following research groups were successful:

Dr Julie Turner-Cobb, Department of Psychology, University of Bath and Dr Mark Beresford, Department of Oncology, Royal United Hospital, Bath Project: “Facilitating patient decision making about treatment options for prostate cancer using visual representation.”
	Dr Stefan Bagby (in picture), Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath and Dr Andrew Chalmers, Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath Project: “Structure and function of RASSF7, both tumour suppressor and oncogene?”
Dr Makoto Furutani‐Seiki (right), Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath and Dr Chris Meehan (left), Department of Histopathology/Royal United Hospital, Bath Project: ”Analysis of YAP/TAZ expression during the progression of cancer.”
Prof. Tony James, Department of Chemistry, University of Bath and Dr Matthew Lloyd, Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, University of Bath Project: “A fluorescent high-throughput assay for a-methylacyl-CoA racemase, a novel prostate cancer drug target.”
