The motion

That the Parliament congratulates researchers from the University of Glasgow on receiving £1.1 million to support the development of new technologies that could improve the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer; understands that the two-year project, called High resolution molecular profiling platform to investigate the role of tumour microbiota in anti-tumour immunity, will be led by Professor Huabing Yin of the James Watt School of Engineering; notes that the project is one of 36 that will share £32.4 million of new funding from the first round of UK Research and Innovation's new cross research council responsive mode pilot (CRCRM) scheme, designed to stimulate exciting new interdisciplinary research, and acknowledges that, together with colleagues from the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, the National Physical Laboratory and the University of Oxford, Professor Yin will work to source new insights into the microbiota of ovarian cancer, which it understands is the most lethal and difficult-to-treat form of gynaecological disease in the developed world.
