In our latest magazine we looked at the Noah’s Pink Balloon Fellowship. It was funded in 2022 by Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund set up by the parents of Noah (pictured) who sadly was diagnosed with Leukaemia and died of an invasive fungal infection, Mucormycosis, in 2020: bit.ly/3MV4zLh

Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund The fellowship is under the supervision of Professor Adilia Warris and Dr Liz Ballou, based at the University of Exeter MRC Centre for Medical Mycology and will research Mucormycosis, a complication that occurs in patients undergoing chemotherapy for leukaemia, or in those with a weak immune system.

Yesterday Professor @Adilia76645023 and Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund fellow Alyssa Hudson visited @KewGreenPrep to explore the fascinating world of fungi with the children. The children experimented with yeast, and discovered how Alyssa combines working as a doctor and a scientist!

Such a special moment, and a poignant reminder of why medical research and education for future generations is vital.

Yes, an amazing day, 2nd year running and even better! Thanks again to the team MRC Centre for Medical Mycology for sharing their expertise, and explaining how the money from our sponsor @KewGreenPrep gets spent.

Well done @[email protected], delighted that more funding into researching mucormycosis has been awarded.

What a week! It has been a huge pleasure to present our @balloulab work on diagnosing mucormycosis at the MRC Centre for Medical Mycology biennial review and #bsmm2023. Thank you Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund for your support and inspiration!

Well done on this amazing achievement! We are delighted to be working with the best in class in laboratory and clinical mycology.

From all of us, a big THANK YOU to everyone especially our generous donors, for making Noah’s Pink Balloon Fellowship a reality. Well done again Alyssa Hudson. #IDTwitter #mycology #mucormycosis #legacy #stemeducation

What a way to close out an amazing research year. Well done 👏 again Alyssa Hudson.

Very striking image. And a great opportunity to see the cutting edge research and technology MRC Centre for Medical Mycology up close and personal.

A vivid treat for the senses and of art and science coming together. The more our scientists can depict and understand these hidden pathogens, the better!

The image is stunning, the disease deadly! Proud that the work of Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund Fellowship has helped develop diagnostic understanding of the fungi that cause mucormycosis.

Powerful microscopic imagery depicting a deadly disease. So special that our Fellow's work is part of this exhibition University of Exeter featuring #research from world leading scientists and clinicians MRC Centre for Medical Mycology

Delighted with our new look website and to be working with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity #research #noahspinkballoon

Big smiles and rightly so! Doctor Alyssa Hudson, Noah's Fellow is presenting her work at #ECCMID2024 this week 👏

Fantastic to see the work of Alyssa Hudson and funded by us centre stage - inroads being made in fungal diagnostics and the deadly fungal infection mucormycosis MRC Centre for Medical Mycology University of Exeter

Check this out! A pioneering new discovery made possible by all those supporting Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund . Well done Alyssa Hudson and @[email protected]

Well done MRC Centre for Medical Mycology for bringing this exhibition online and showcasing the hours of research in the labs. #MycoSky #FungalFriday

Thank you to everyone who came to our first ever 🎄 fair to help us fund the medical treatments of tomorrow. Fantastic to see such a great turn out and show of support. #fundraising #charity
