Thanks Bob and all of you for your incredibly supportive response to my
inquiry!! On behalf of myself and all of my very enthusiastic gang of
students we are thrilled to have an online contact with the giants in
FAP. This is how research should be and you are modeling a wonderful
generosity by sharing your instruments and knowledge with us. We have
received now quite a bit of material from Glenn which we will start
translating into swedish and by doing so try and understand it. As soon
as we get our feet wet and get our research design on paper we will put
it up on the FAP list and see what you all think. We would like to
start the first actual clinical trials in the fall and get all the
instruments done now. Thanks again to all of you!! best from a
beautiful spring evening in Uppsala
