BIRMINGHAM SCIENTISTS WIN FUNDING TO DEVELOP “LOLLIPOPS” FOR MOUTH CANCER DIAGNOSIS
- Prototype flavoured ‘lollipop’ could lead to earlier mouth cancer diagnosis
- Birmingham scientists awarded £350,000 to develop promising research
- Project hailed as “an exciting first step towards an entirely new way to identify mouth cancers”
A ‘LOLLIPOP’ that can diagnose mouth cancer early could become a reality, thanks to a pioneering project funded by Cancer Research UK and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Dr Ruchi Gupta at the University of Birmingham has been awarded £350,000 over the next three years by Cancer Research UK and EPSRC to make a prototype flavoured ‘lollipop’ from a material called a smart hydrogel.
