      Hi Larah!

      I look at solid tumours – so that’s lung, breast, colon, pancreatic cancers – anything that grows within an organ. My colleague Kate looks at blood cancers – so lymphoma, leukemia etc.

      If I won the money, I want you students decide how I should spend it. I would either fly to a big cancer conference in america to try and find new drugs or I would give it to a charity called Breakthrough Breast Cancer who do really good early-stage research into very new drugs. Hopefully they could come up with a new drug that I could help make sure gets to the right patients. Which do you think I should do?
