The Pears Building - a unique collaboration between the Royal Free Charity, UCL, and the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust - is a hub for pioneering immunity research. Researchers at the Institute are investigating new therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and type 1 diabetes, as well as developing new therapies to stop the rejection of transplants.
The new film highlights scientists and clinicians from the Stauss lab at the Institute. Director of the IIT, Professor Hans Stauss, says he hopes the film will engage the public with the researchers and the work happening inside the Pears Building. “It focuses on the scientists as people, who they are, what drives them and why they are excited about working with patients to find new cures,” he said.
