For the second virtual event, Discovery Club members went on a trip back in time and deep inside the cell with Professor Jessica Downs and Dr Navita Somaiah to explore how targeting cancer’s DNA weaknesses can unlock new treatments.

Members of the ICR’s Discovery Club were given an exclusive insight into how researchers sample, process and analyse tumour cells in the lab, as part of the ICR’s first virtual event for our donors.

Members of the ICR’s Discovery Club saw first-hand the delicacy and complexity of techniques used to sculpt new drug molecules, as they learned how our scientists design the cancer drugs of the future.
