🆕 | @uofgsii.bsky.social's Professor @gwotzerho.bsky.social has received £310k from Jon Moulton Charity Trust to support his UK investigator-led Phase 2 Marvel Study, investigating use of oral mitochondrial antioxidants in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. 👉 More: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/infe...
A head and shoulders portrait shot of Professor Gwo-tzer Ho stood outside in front of a marble pillar.The Marvel Trial logo, with the letters 'Ma' in white font boxed off in a green square. 'rv' are stylised in cursive and black font, 'e' is green font, and 'l' a return to black font. The Jon Moulton Charity Trust logo. Set over three lines, the font colour starts light grey in the first line and then changes to a darker, bolder grey in the second and third. The 'C' in charity is stylised as the curve in a microscope.
