Each year, the Blond McIndoe Research Foundation supports early-stage ideas with the potential to change lives. Our Pump Priming Grants provide small-scale funding to help launch ambitious research projects that can pave the way for major breakthroughs. This year’s recipient, Christopher Bricogne from the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford, is exploring a new way to detect lung transplant rejection before irreversible damage occurs.
