Grand Charity support for Age-related Hearing Loss research
A cheque for £39,000 was presented to Dr David Furness, of ISTM, by Dr Sandy Stewart on behalf of the Freemason's Grand Charity on Friday 18 January 2013. The presentation took place in the Huxley Building despite the number of attendees being depleted because of the inclement weather. The visitors were greeted by Dr Peter Thomas, deputy head of the School of Life Sciences.
The award is for Dr Furness to continue his work on age-related hearing loss and the use of stem cells to try to prevent it. It follows a previous three-year award by the same charity through Deafness Research UK.
