Dr Gideon Coster is one of the newest Team Leaders at the ICR. Here we take a look at his research, aiming to understand how DNA can become its own enemy.

The ICR has discovered more new cancer drugs than any other academic institution globally, and led the underpinning science for many more cancer treatments. We have helped lead clinical trials of these drugs and many others – taking them to cancer patients as quickly as possible.

Every year our researchers submit outstanding pictures to our Science and Medical Imaging Competition – telling a story about our pioneering work and its benefits for patients. Check out the fantastic images selected by our judges, and this year voted for by the public.
