The University of Wolverhampton offered visitors from Pancreatic Cancer UK the chance to examine its cancer research facilities.
University staff and students hosted the group visit which included people who had been affected by pancreatic cancer, trustees and the charity’s staff.
The group were taken on an exclusive tour of the state of the art facility, where researchers demonstrated the latest technologies and techniques being employed to tackle pancreatic cancer.
University of Wolverhampton researcher, Professor Weiguang Wang, has been awarded more than £73,000 by Pancreatic Cancer UK to investigate the effectiveness of using a treatment for alcoholism, Disulfiram, to treat pancreatic cancer.
There are currently very few treatments for the disease, and less than seven per cent of people survive for five years or more after diagnosis in the UK.
