AMMF Grants for Research
One of AMMF’s major objectives is to support specialised research teams in their work to find the causes, methods of earlier diagnosis, and effective treatments for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Since its inception in 2002, AMMF has now awarded over £3m (three million pounds sterling) in grants to support cholangiocarcinoma research at many of the UK’s leading research institutions, and internationally.
AMMF has funded or is currently funding research at:
- Imperial College London
- University College London
- The Institute of Hepatology London
- University of Birmingham
- University of Cambridge
- University of Edinburgh
- University of Nottingham
- University of East Anglia
- University of Manchester
- University of Liverpool
- University of Oxford
- University of Leeds
- Cardiff University
- Universities of Madrid, Navarra and Pamplona, Spain
- John Hopkins University, USA
- Sapienza University of Rome
- University of Copenhagen
