The members of the LAM Trust’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Group are delighted to announce that the Trust will fund a Summer Studentship at the University of Auckland’s Department of Anatomy. The three month project will begin in December and run through to March 2003.

This funding will support the second LAM Science project to take place in the laboratory of Professor Merv Merrilees and will involve new and significant possibilities in the investigation into the mechanisms involving LAM.

The recipient of the Summer Studentship funds, Elyshia Hankin, is currently finishing her masters thesis on the Extra-Cellular Matrix of LAM Lungs and is ideally placed to carry out the proposed research.

The LAM Trust will also contribute towards costs and running expenses for the project.
