Yesterday we announced that in April 2024 our CEO Maggie Blanks will retire and the charity will wind down. This means that PCRF will no longer be funding new research beyond this date. However, we do have the final five research projects that started in 2023 to announce

The final five grants total just over £1 million, which brings the total spend on research project grants to £15.6 million since the charity was founded. #PancreaticCancer

Final research grants #1 Dr Jun Ishihara of Imperial College London Award £220,000,  duration 2 years #PancreaticCancer

Final research grant #2 Professor Michael Schmid University of Liverpool Award £217,000, duration 3 years #PancreaticCancer
