Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Cancer predisposition and evolution

Identifying genes that increase the risk of bowel or other cancers allows us to offer preventative measures, such as removing tumours at an early stage. A better understanding of how and why cancers grow also helps develop improved treatments.
