On 27 September the 10,000 UK Deutsche Bank employees will be invited to donate a day’s salary to the charity Cure Leukaemia, one of the Bank’s two charities of the year. Funds raised from the ‘One Day’ initiative will help fund a pioneering Therapy Acceleration Laboratory, a new facility at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine. The laboratory will benefit from the Institute’s long-standing expertise in blood and immune diseases, and cancer biology. It will apply the latest scientific and computational analysis to blood cancer samples from patients treated through the national clinical trials network led by the Centre for Clinical Haematology in Birmingham, which provides a catchment region of 20 million people.
