L<\/mark>iverpool University\u2019s Experimental Arthritis Treatment Centre for Children (EATC4Children<\/a>), is based at the Institute in the Park near Alder Hey Children\u2019s Hospital. We were pleased to approve a grant to purchase an imaging system called ChemiDoc which will allow the team to acquire high resolution and high-quality images of both nucleic acids and protein gels\/membranes which is crucial to their research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what Dr Ana Carvalho Kok, Postdoctoral Scientist<\/mark> within the Wolfson Labs in the Institute in the Park, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe work of the EATC4Children focuses on children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), JIA-associated uveitis, juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE), bone and bone health disorders and other related conditions. It is the first and only children\u2019s research centre of its kind in the UK.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers at the EATC4Children aim to better understand the role of the immune system in the development and progression of these autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and to identify potential new treatment targets and biomarkers. This could lead to more effective treatment with reduced unwanted side-effects as well as early and correct diagnosis, disease onset, individual course and outcome prediction.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ChemiDoc will transform our ability to bioengineer regions of DNA to test their contribution to human disease, for example in jSLE. As target identification and functional testing are the first and essential steps towards understanding disease mechanisms and introducing new individualised treatments, the ChemiDoc system will allow us to further expand our efforts in finding disease and outcome specific molecular defects to improve the lives of children with systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disease. This grant is making this research possible.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out more about the work of EATC4Children <\/a>on their website, you can also support their research by making a donation to the EATC4Children fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third grant we have made to EATC4Children. In 2016 we purchased an EVOS XL Cell Imaging System which allows to obtain high-quality brightfield cell images and was followed in 2019 with another grant for a transfection system called a 4D-NucleofectorTM X Unit that enables the study of immune cells, stem cells, neurons, and cell lines. In total the Foundation has made grants of over \u00a345,000 to the EATC4Children research group.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
