University of Southampton heads cancer campaign
The University of Southampton is at the forefront of research into cancer treatment and is leading a fundraising drive.
Researchers in Southampton have
been working on immunotherapy. The basic idea behind the work is that a person’s own body can help in the battle against cancer cells. If more money is to be found to help the scientists, printed envelopes from local print shops could be used to contact residents who live in and around Southampton. Professor Tim Elliott has made his optimism clear to the Daily Echo:
Professor Elliott has been tasked with being the director for the Southampton Centre for Cancer Immunology. He has a lot of experience in the sector, having scrutinised cancerous cells for well over three decades. As an experimental oncologist, he has begun to witness positive results for patients which would not have been considered possible when he started out.
Construction is about to begin on the hub itself. About £25 million is to be invested in the initiative. Approximately 60 jobs are to be generated by the drive. The centre should be fully operational before the beginning of 2018, especially as the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership has given the scheme its support.

“This is the first time researchers have felt comfortable talking about a cure. The excitement comes from the fact that there are now trials of Immunotherapy to drugs.”
