This #MLKDay, we're looking back to 1967 when we became the only UK university to award Dr Martin Luther King an honorary degree during his lifetime.
Take a look at his passionate and moving acceptance speech, delivered in our very own King's Hall 👇

Our new publication is out - PDIA6 and Maspin in Prostate Cancer - we show for the first time that PDIA6 increase may be involved in prostate cancer. The image is showing that RNA levels of PDIA6 are highly increased in prostate cancer when compared to normal tissue - link below
