The grant will be funding a further 18 Months research into a project entitled

Fat droplets as an indicator of cell growth and death in brain tumours.

The aim of this project is to determine the composition of brain tumour lipid
droplets in tumour cells before and after treatment in order to understand
why they are important to cell growth and death. The hope is that this will
lead to new ways of treating these tumours which cannot be cured by surgery alone.
