He is now hoping to make a significant impact on research into Paget\u2019s Disease of Bone. In Paget\u2019s Disease the bone\u2019s normal repair and renewal process is disrupted. This can lead to intense pain, severe deformity, fractures and in some cases, bone cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Juan has been awarded the Ann Stansfield Student Research Bursary, providing him with \u00a36000 to progress his research. He is working under the mentorship and supervision of Dr Claire Clarkin who is a lecturer in developmental biology. Dr Clarkin explains, \u201cThis exciting project is in collaboration with Professor Stuart Ralston at the University of Edinburgh where we will look for the first time at how blood vessels are involved in the progression of Paget\u2019s Disease. Juan has used his engineering expertise and developed new techniques to visualise blood vessels which are deeply buried within the bone mineral. The blood supply is abnormal in many diseases such as cancer and we now think that this is also the case with Paget\u2019s Disease. Our long-term aim is to control blood vessel growth in the bone lesions to help to reduce pain and fracture risk\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Roger Francis, Chairman of the Paget\u2019s Association, presented Juan with the award on the 29th September at a Paget\u2019s Information event in Norwich. Commenting on behalf of the Association, Professor Francis said, \u201cThe Trustees of the Charity thought it fitting that the bursary be named after the late Mrs Ann Stanfield who founded The Paget\u2019s Association in 1973, having experienced considerable difficulty obtaining information and treatment for her husband\u2019s condition. We would like to take this opportunity congratulate Juan on being awarded the bursary. We look forward to seeing his research progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"198\"
