Science Talk

Jules Bakker spoke to Dr Chiara Gorrini about joining one of the top childhood cancer research labs in the UK. She discusses how her ten years of experience studying breast cancer is helping the lab drive forward discoveries that will lead to smarter and kinder treatments for children with cancer.

On 28 February organisations around the world will be working to raise awareness of rare diseases for Rare Disease Day. Tilly Haynes looked into what qualifies as a rare cancer, and how researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, are working on some of them.

Researchers and clinicians from across the world, including our Chief Executive Professor Paul Workman and Professors Raj Chopra and Louis Chesler, have come together to set out how future research can finally deliver major progress against brain cancer in both adults and children. Our Science Communications Officer, Conor McKeever, looks at the group’s recommendations.
