      Its possible it could be the basis for the cure of some cancers (especially a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma and breast cancers). What I hope for my research is that we’ll have new targets for cancer drugs and be able to develop new cancer drugs. I am unlikely to design the drugs myself, that needs to be done by computer people and chemists – what I do is look for new drug targets.

      Cancer is such a mix of different diseases I don’t think there will ever be one single cure, but the better we understand it the better we can treat it.
