RESEARCH Updates
​
Joe and Kathy met with our GC international research group in Boston. Mariella Filbin PhD of Dana-Farber hosted Chris Jones PhD and Shauna Crampsie of ICR London, David Castel MD of Paris, and Ilon Liu PhD of Berlin, in Boston, to write up their GC research findings for publication in an upcoming scientific journal.
We discussed a recent published article which summarized new GC findings from another international research project these scientists collaborated on, which the AYJ Fund also assisted in funding.
​
The article in the link below summarizes this research work, and is worth the short read. We are confident we are on the right path towards effective treatments for this devastating disease.
