Ask A Scientist: DNA Damage Response

As part of our bold ambition to eliminate cancer as a cause of death, our researchers work at the frontiers of oncology. As one example, potential therapies in development work to prevent cancer cells from repairing damage to their own DNA. The science behind the molecules can be incredibly complex, but it’s also important to ensure it’s understandable, so we can inspire the next generation of scientists. As part of our award-winning ‘Ask a Scientist’ series, we’ve challenged Mark O’Connor (Chief Scientist, Early Oncology Discovery), to explain DNA damage response to make the science accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
