 Synopsis

Magnetic Milestone in Children's Brain Tumour TreatmentChildren's brain tumours are the subject of pioneering new diagnosis and treatment from research scientists and clinicians at the UK's University of Birmingham.

Working with the city's Children's Hospital, they're using cutting edge science in magnetic spectroscopy to analyse tissue samples from children's tumours, significantly improving our ability to diagnose and treat these cancers.

The University's new Henry Wellcome Building for Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy is home to the UK's first 900 MHz Magnetic Spectrometer – one of only seven in the world, it will be a major resource for European researchers into the root causes of cancer and other diseases.
