Projects we're funding

40tude is proud to be the lead or exclusive financial supporter of multiple multi-year studies being led by the pioneering medics at St. Mark’s, the UK's national bowel hospital, in collaboration with many other venerable institutions.

Our approach is to provide funding for early phases of specific NHS research programmes which could not move forward without our support.  Watch this short film here to find out more.

Please follow the links below for details of each of the ground-breaking programmes we are currently helping to progress, and some of the pioneering projects we have helped to fund previously - all of which are targeted at improving the early diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer.
