| RESEARCH AT ST MARY'S |
|
| Sponsored by COSMIC and supported by a number of other charitable organisations, the research team at St Mary's and Imperial College are carrying out a programme of research into life-threatening childhood diseases with the ultimate aim of developing new methods of treatment. |
|
| The objective of the research programme, led by Professor Mike Levin, is to determine why some people are susceptible to certain diseases and how an individual's genetic make-up influences how diseases, once contracted, then progress through the body. |
|
| This research has truly global implications for saving children's lives in both developed and less developed countries. |
|
| The team operates not in a remote academic world, but is using science to cure people in the most direct way possible - in close proximity with real patients in the PICU at St Mary's and with the close co-operation of their families. |
