A BARNSLEY professor has made a major breakthrough that could lead to the development of a safer and more effective ibuprofen drug.
Jane Mitchell, who grew up in Brierley, is now a professor of pharmacology in critical care medicine at Imperial College London.
The former Willowgarth High School student, who is 52 tomorrow, is part of a team of British scientists trialling a new formula for over-the-counter drug ibuprofen which they believe is not only safer but attacks pain faster and could help millions of people around the world who take the anti-inflammatory medication.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
