      Great question!

      It’s really important for any scientist that is looking at any disease, whether that’s cancer, through to asthma and arthritis that they look at normal parts of the body too.

      That was we can compare what’s different in the cancer cell to the normal cell.

      So yes, I look at normal cells as well as cancer cells to try and find out what’s changed in them to make them behave the way they do.
