Description

In this week's episode Professor Paola Scaffidi from the Francis Crick Institute talks to us about how epigenetic factors influence cancer stem cells in cancer development, what cancer stem cells are, and what gets her up in the morning!

Professor Scaffidi is an established Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute since 2015. Her group use genome-wide mapping approaches and state-of-the-art cell biological methods in combination with advanced light microscopy techniques and in vivo approaches to characterise functionally important epigenetic traits of Cancer Stem Cells, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets.
