Breast Cancer Prostate Treatment

Cancer Research UK is investing 10m pounds in drug discovery projects at four universities across the UK.

Project leaders at Imperial College London, University of Oxford, University of Strathclyde and The School of Pharmacy in London will each receive £500k per year for five years to develop anti-cancer drugs.

The grants aim to encourage research into using small molecules to create new and targeted drugs to treat cancer. The projects will range from developing therapies for leukaemia to discovering new drugs to beat drug resistance in breast and prostate cancer treatments.

Professor Herbie Newell, Cancer Research UK's executive director of clinical and translational research, said: "We are in the process of significantly expanding our drug discovery programmes.

Malik has an injury after ‘painful’ defeat

DELHI: Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik got an injury scare on Monday soon after his team lost to India in the opening Test when he twisted his ankle during a training session here at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. But a team official told media that it's a minor injury and the all-rounder should be fit in time to make the playing eleven for the second Test getting underway in Kolkata from November 30. Malik twisted his ankle while playing football during a training session that was held soon after the conclusion of the opening Test which India won by six wickets. “Malik twisted his ankle and was taken to a local hospital for an MRI scan," team manager Talat Ali Malik said. “Doctors here have examined his scan reports and have advised him a two-day rest. They believe Malik should be fit to play in the second Test," he added.

The Don handed test reprieve

It is important to have a knowledge of Australia if coming to live here so you can build on your knowledge from those questions.

Ah so much ado about nothing. I love cricket but I dislike a lot about Don Bradman, though of course I know who he is. A question about him is as relevant as any other question about Australian history and this is just one question in a whole bunch of them in the test. Who cares? If they (prospective citizens) want to be part of Australia answering a simple multiple-choice questionnaire with a couple of sports questions thrown in is no big deal. Anyone would think there were no other questions in it from the way people are carrying on in here. From descriptions of the test it sounds more like a reading comprehension assessment than anything anyway.
