      I do research on colorectal cancer. ‘colo’ stands for colon and this is the large intestine. And ‘rectal’ stands for rectum which is the bit inside of you just before your bum hole where your poo comes out. So we look at all of the cancers that you can get in this are of the body. It sounds like it might be messy work because you’re working on the area where waste goes and the area your poo comes from, but we only work with the cells. No poo work for me 🙂
