      Hey Amelia,

      I suspect that he next big advance will be in personalised medicines, where a patients own natural defence mechanism is altered in a way to make it more effective at beating a particular disease. Clearly we are always going to need new medicines to fight new diseases and hopefully we will find new ways of delivering these medicines safely, try researching “Antibody Drug Conjugates” as a relatively new way of treating some cancers.

      Take care and best of luck if you go for a career in science

      Stephen
