Professor Delvac Oceandy is working at a molecular level to explore the changes that take place within heart cells following a heart attack.

Survival rates after heart attack have improved in recent years, however this progress has revealed a new and pressing challenge. For many survivors, the heart often does not fully recover. 

Instead, it undergoes structural and functional changes that impair its ability to pump effectively. Over time, this can lead to heart failure, reducing physical capacity and quality of life.

By building a clearer picture, it becomes possible to identify opportunities where intervention could make a difference.

What started as a spontaneous decision at university has become a life-saving habit for Matt Crofts, our Faculty Head of Planning, Compliance, and Governance.
 
Matt has now given over 100 blood donations - helping patients locally and beyond. Some of his most recent donations have gone to Manchester Royal Infirmary, the Christie and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital too.

Earlier this month, we spoke to Matt about why he first gave blood and why he continues. He hopes his story will inspire others to do the same.

“If you can donate, I would encourage anyone to do it. All it takes is a bit of time. It’s no hassle, you walk out knowing you’ve done something good, and you can make a real difference to someone’s life.”

Ovarian cancer is one of the most challenging cancers to detect early.

Research led by Professor Richard Edmonson is working to change this by improving early detection and ensuring treatment decisions are personalised and not impacted by where you live in the UK.

Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day.
