Beatson Pebble Appeal

The Beatson Pebble Appeal is a £10million campaign to build The Beatson Translational Research Centre (TRC).

This facility will work alongside existing facilities in Glasgow carrying out basic scientific research and those providing clinical care of patients.  The Beatson TRC will convert basic research into real improvements in patient’s lives.  It will specialise in the common tumours and those that cause the most deaths in Scotland such as endocrine (breast, prostate and ovarian); smoking related (lung, throat, oral) or gastro intestinal.

Leukaemia Research

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the University of Glasgow' s world-class leukaemia researchers are now based in a purpose-built laboratory, the Paul O'Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre, at Gartnavel hospital. 

This cutting edge facility will support their research into the causes and evolution of a number of different leukaemias. 

The University has established a fund which, with your support, will enable us to provide our researchers with the best and most up to date equipment and, by so doing, help to attract and retain the scientists who lead the field in this vital area of medicine.

Breast Cancer Research

At any given time breast cancer affects over 16,000 women in the West of Scotland (Scottish Cancer Registry, ISD) .  The University, working with the National Health Service and cancer charities already funds key senior scientists and doctors fighting this disease.

To achieve our goals of understanding the causes of breast cancer and improving on available treatments, and to ensure the rapid conversion of our excellence in science into benefits for patients, we rely on the investment and support of the University's graduates and friends.
