Project Description
To determine whether SSX proteins could form the basis of a non-invasive urine based screening test for OC. We want to obtain a small amount of funding to pay for a research nurse to consent patients in Edinburgh and a technician to process and store samples. Funding to move the 90 early stage ovarian cancer samples to Hull and funding for a research technician in Hull to store the samples and analyse them.
