      My work is about imaging T cells using radioactivity. These are cells that are used to cure cancer but we don’4t fully understand how they work.
      If you look on my profile you will see a description of what I do in the “My work” section (click on the “read more” link), and feel free to ask me more questions if you think it’s not clear enough!
      In short, I grow cells in a flask, then I make them radioactive (I have to make the radioactive molecule first), then I inject them in mice and I put the mice in a scanner. It’s very varied and I get to do all of it myself, it’s really interesting.
