When it comes to Charity, we have
one goal – to raise funds for the EORTC Charitable Trust. The reason why we’re doing this
is simple – we want to understand cancer better so that we can reduce the amount
of deaths caused by it. We’ll understand cancer better if we build a Biobank.
This year, Alliance Healthcare in the UK wants to raise £150,000 for this
cause.
A biobank is a type of repository
that stores biological samples (usually human) for use in research and provides
researchers access to data representing larger numbers of individual people. The
EORTC is creating Europe’s first tumour Biobank to speed-up the development of
new treatments for colorectal cancer patients.
