Question: Why do you enjoy being a cancer researcher?

Matthew Harris answered on 21 Jun 2023:

I love it! Having seen first hand how difficult the journey of being diagnosed with cancer is for patients and their families, I feel really privileged to spend my time researching how we may be able to help prevent it from happening.

Cancer is incredibly complex as a disease, with hundreds of different types. It is a huge challenge for researchers but it is exciting to build on the work of and work alongside fantastic colleagues.
