In this week’s fascinating episode, Ellie Wolmark is joined by Dr Dario Bressan to discuss how the Cancer Grand Challenges team IMAXT has brought cancer researchers together with astronomers and video game designers to build the world’s first virtual reality map of a tumour. By developing this entirely new way to study cancer, team IMAXT could revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of people with the disease.
Dario is Head of the IMAXT Laboratory at the CRUK Cambridge Institute at the University of Cambridge. Cancer Grand Challenges is a funding initiative co-founded by Cancer Research UK and the National Cancer Institute in the States.
