Question: What do you study? Where do you do your research? Who is a famous scientist from your area of study?

I study how healthy and cancer cells reproduce. I’m trying to find differences between them so that we can try and find drugs that specifically kill cancer cells and leave healthy cells untouched. I do all this research at The Institute of Cancer Research which is a world famous cancer research institute in London. There are lots of famous scientists from my field of study – have you heard of Francis Crick and James Watson? They discovered the structure of DNA 60 years ago.
