Science Talk

After Aoife Flanagan died of germ cell cancer at the age of three, her mum, Eilish, set up a charity in her daughter’s name to change the future for other children with cancer.

The ICR’s Science Communications Officer Joanne Duffy took on the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for the ICR’s world-leading research. Here she debunks 13 cancer myths – one for each mile that she ran – and highlights some examples of where the ICR’s scientists are making a real difference for people with cancer.

After his recent move to the ICR, we spoke to Dr Gideon Coster to find out more about how his research into DNA replication – and when this goes wrong in cancer – could lead to new drug targets.
