GRS says: "It's great to see Cambridge at the forefront yet again. This time it's the partnership recently announced between the Virgin Health Bank and the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
"This partnership is to accelerate the development and availability of stem cell transplants and it is hoped that it will demonstrate what can be achieved via a collaboration between the private and public sectors. Another objective is to increase availability of cord blood cells and thereby reduce the currently high costs of transplants."
The full meeting report on the LRMN event, including this announcement, can be found on the GRS blog.
