      Hiya,

      I found it interesting and I’d like to think that understanding the basics of what is going on can make a big difference to everyone. Cancer is such a big disease and affects so many peoples lives, anything we can do to help people and try to stop this disease is a good thing. I work at the real start of that process trying to increase our understanding and knowlage. But the truth is I enjoyed genetics and could have ended up looking at genes in any number of different diseases.
