Congratulations are again in order for LOORG's lead, Professor Sarah Coupland, who has recently been appointed Trustee of OcuMelUK, and Vice Chair of the AJCC-UICC Ophthalmic Oncology Task Force.

Here at LOORG we are delighted of the move to support OcuMelUK further, a charity which represents people suffering with ocular (uveal) melanoma:
http://www.ocumeluk.org/index.html

Equally the AJCC-UICC Ophthalmic Oncology Task Force aims to develop and implement common definitions for ocular cancer. These definitions were designed to be relevant for pathology diagnosis and clinical care. The AJCC-UICC eye cancer staging system was created by the ophthalmic community to perform as a scientific language enable research and improve clinical care.  

Sarah’s appointment will both strengthen the Task Force and deepen the connections with the world of ophthalmic pathology, genetics and molecular biology.

Congratulations from everyone at LOORG!

It has been a busy month for visitors at LOORG recently, with two international guests joining the group, and a University Summer placement student.

We were delighted to welcome Dr Chandrani Chattopadhyay from MD Anderson Center in Texas, USA, and Dr Teresa Wacker from Germany. Miss Sophia Carbutt also dedicated her free time to learn new techniques with the group.

Dyfed Powys Lab Tour

5/8/2013

0 Comments

 
On Thursday 25th July, 2013, LOORG welcomed Dyfed Powys Police Federation to Liverpool.

The group raised an incredible £500 for the Eye Tumour Research Fund in memory of ex. Inspector, Mr Norman Welch, who sadly passed away earlier this year. We were also joined by Mr Welch’s wife, Elaine, and daughter Caitlyn, who very kindly raised a further £740.00 in charitable donations.


Dr Sarah Lake showed the group around the laboratory facilities and discussed the ground breaking research carried out in Liverpool. This was an excellent way to show first-hand exactly where vital donations go, and the importance of our supporters for advancing research.

Every penny raised for the Eye Tumour Research Fund is spent benefitting the patients of the Royal Liverpool Hospital, and furthering research into rare eye cancer.  We are very grateful for Mr Welch's friends and family's support.

Thank you.
