Today we’re celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science by showcasing some of the outstanding #womeninscience working in the School of Biosciences.
Next up is Dr Catherine Hogan. Based in Cardiff University’s European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute, Dr Hogan’s research is focused on improving understanding of the early stages of pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is a lethal disease with the worst prognosis of any cancer, and early detection is key to improving survival.
Dr Hogan and her team of researchers are working to understand the fundamental biological events that lead to the early stages of pancreatic cancer in order to identify biomarkers that could be used for early detection. It is hoped that this work will lead to the development of early detection tests for the future, which could ultimately transform the way we diagnose pancreatic cancer.
