Thank you to the @BloodCancer_Res team for visiting @unibirmingham @ImmunologyUoB @IcgsUob this week. It was a real pleasure to meet you, to discuss our Blood Cancer UK funded work, and discuss how we can all work together to fight blood cancer.
We've had a great day @unibirmingham meeting blood cancer researchers, hearing about the exciting progress being made in @bloodcancer_uk funded research and discussing how we can work together to develop kinder, more effective treatments for blood cancer patients

Sad to hear of the passing of Prof Sir Tony Epstein, discoverer the first human tumour virus, EBV, which is the focus of my group. Such a privilege to meet him and hear him speak at the 50th anniversary of the discovery of EBV in 2014. What an inspiration.
