What if a time machine could be built, not from metal but from human tissue, to help us understand cancer and how it responds to treatment?
Dr Alecia-Jane Twigger, Dr Akanksha Anand, Dr Kui Hua, Dr Pedro Victori and Dr Jo Worley from the University of Cambridge have done just that. In this episode, they talk about their project funded by Wellcome LEAP under the Delta Tissue programme to build a ’tissue time machine’. By studying tumour samples from patients with triple negative breast cancer before and after treatment, they aim to build a model that can predict how patients would respond to therapy.
The conversation offers a fascinating look at how a truly multidisciplinary team, bringing together scientists from very different fields, can achieve something remarkable.
