In a letter dated 17/4/2019, this charity stated: “We have a very small research portfolio, the main criteria for which is that the projects will help advance early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. We invest in small (less that £40,000 each), proof of concept projects that, when successful, can go on to receive additional funding from major cancer funders such as Cancer research UK and the Medical Research Council to extend their research.
“To date, we have not, and currently do not, fund any human embryo experimentation and, due to the complexity of the science and the huge amount of funds needed for this type of research (which we don’t have), it is very unlikely that our funds will be spent in this area in the future.” [#AMRC#]
