LAP Research

General information

LAP Research was set up in 2007 by two surgeons who specialise in the area of medicine (known as hepatopancreaticobiliary medicine or HPB for short). They recognised the need for a charity dedicated to research into the wide range of conditions and illnesses that affect all of these organs rather than focus on one particular organ or disease. We're the only charity in the UK dedicated to research into diseases affecting the liver pancreas gallbladder and biliary tree. We direct funds into cutting-edge crucial scientific research and involve ourselves in the education of those affected - the public and medical professionals alike. For nearly 8 years now since its formation LAPResearch has been entirely run by its four Trustees with help along the way from colleagues friends and professional insiders. We’ve kept our running costs to the absolute minimum so we can pass on as much of the money donated directly to research.
