1/1 THE charity set up in memory of a York schoolboy who died of a brain tumour is to help fund a new project which will boost Yorkshire research into the cancer. OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity and Yorkshire’s Brain Tumour Charity will jointly fund a new brain tumour tissue bank in Leeds, which is set to open in January. The bank, headed up by scientist and Associate Professor Dr Lucy Stead at the University of Leeds, will ensure researchers in Yorkshire are better resourced to continue their world-renowned work, providing state-of-the-art resources to collect, examine and conserve fresh tissue samples.
