SEAC Chair & Deputy Chair

 

In the afternoon of the 4th of March 2009, SEAC will discuss unpublished research relating to the finding of abnormal prion protein at post mortem in the spleen of a person with haemophilia (as reported recently by the Health Protection Agency).  This part of the meeting will be held in closed session to allow discussion of unpublished data.  This is in accordance with the SEAC Code of Practice.
