STEM CAMPAIGN
HOPE IN SIGHT: A team of scientists from Dundee, the University of Texas and the City of Hope Cancer Center in LA will look to build on recent discoveries. AN acclaimed academic from the University of Dundee is set to benefit from a new million-dollar international award to help find more effective treatments with fewer side effects for Ewing’s sarcoma – a rare type of cancer that mainly affects children and young people. Professor Kevin Hiom, from the University’s School of Medicine, will jointly lead a transatlantic team of scientists who were awarded a Paediatric Cancer New Discoveries Challenge award of almost $1million, approximately £770,000.
