University budget cuts do not affect mesothelioma research

The Minnesota Daily has reported that the University of Minnesota has taken steps to resolve budget problems. Many academic programs are planned to implement budget reductions. The university’s mesothelioma research program however, will not be experiencing budget cuts.

This is encouraging news because mesothelioma is a fatal asbestos disease for which there is currently no cure. Thus, it is vital that universities and other research institutions allocate funds for mesothelioma treatment research.
