#Companies'take on more UK graduates'UK graduates looking for employment face a brighter landscape than in previous years,
But the study also says the number of female graduates being recruited by AGR employers is lower than it should be
The AGR research suggests London continues to attract large numbers of graduates with a 46%share of vacancies.
the AGR says The median starting salary for graduates in 2014-2015 was £28, 000-up from £27, 000 in 2013-14 and a continuation of the steady increase from £25, 000 in 2010-2011
despite the fact that 59%of all university graduates are female (according to the UK's Higher education Statistics Agency)."
Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) graduates hired averaged 16%per employer in 2013-2014, which"compares well with the graduate talent pool,
as 19%of university graduates are BAME. AGR chief executive Stephen Isherwood said:""Gender diversity is an issue
it indicates there is more to be done to attract female graduates who in turn need to make the most of the opportunities available."

#Researcher Discovers Molecules That Kill Cancer, Protect Healthy Cells Researchers have identified new molecules that kill cancer cells
Professor Qing-Bin Lu, from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of science, initiated a novel molecular-mechanism-based program to discover a new class of non-platinum-based-halogenated molecules that kill cancer cells
The technique is part of a potential new field of science developed by Professor Lu called femtomedicine (FMD),
Professor Lu has applied the tool to understand the molecular mechanisms that cause cancer at the very moment
"said Professor Lu.""With the novel femtomedicine approach we can go back to the very beginning to find out what causes DNA damage in the first place, then mutation, and then cancer."
"By understanding more about the fundamental mechanisms of the diseases, Professor Lu preselected molecules most likely to be effective as anticancer agents.
"said Professor Lu. Professor Lu has applied already for patents on the new family of non-platinum-based-halogenated molecules that he has discovered
and hopes to start clinical trials soon. Source: University of Waterlo o
