Beer treatments and care for more peopleSupporting the expertsThe field of liver disease, treatment and care isconstantly evolving and the development of newlife-saving medical advances lies in the hands ofdedicated researchers, clinicians and specialists.Adrian Mowat and his family, the founding donorsof MowatLabs, have generously pledged to funda PhD scholarship over the next four years tohelp facilitate scientific discovery and progresspaediatric liver research.Annika and Nikos Papantoniou have also committedsignificant funding towards the activities of DrJessica Nulty, a postdoctoral researcher involvedin a number of research projects with a particularfocus on the treatment of biliary atresia.We also engaged with Rishi and Milan Khosla to funda four-year PhD research project focusing on thediscovery of new treatment options for acute-onchronic liver failure.Thanks to the generosity of these donors, thededicated team at MowatLabs can continue toprogress treatment and transform the lives of youngliver patients. Without them, this vital work wouldnot be possible.Extraordinary support from key donors is not onlyunlocking the secrets of liver disease but alsopowering development in other King’s specialismsand clinical research areas.A donation from aninternational donor is helpingto establish a fellowshipprogramme to further researchin Parkinson’s disease.Philanthropy is alsoaccelerating ProfessorJackson’s work to prevent sightloss through retinal research.In addition to supporting vitalresearch, Ralph Smith hasfunded a Cardiohelp machinethat provides cardiopulmonaryassistance during surgery,ensuring greater numbers ofviable livers are available fortransplantation.We can take that concept that wecreated in the laboratory and takeit to the bedside and test it withpatients. And once we have done that;answered a question, come up with asolution and proved that it works,we can then help to prolong achild’s life and improve theirday-to-day living.”– Professor Anil DhawanDr Jessica Nulty, one of the postdoctoralresearchers at MowatLabs, whose researchis focused on improving treatment and carefor young patients with biliary artresia.K I N G’ S CO L L E G E H O S P I TA L C H A R I T Y A N N UA L R E P O R T A N D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 2 0 2 3/ 2419
