Using Bacterial Viruses to Prevent Pork Pong

Jack Lee (MIBTP PhD in Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences at the University of Leicester)

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria; they have a long, fascinating history of medical use, and instead of that, I use them to make pork not smell as much.

Your immune system and cancer

Gage Millen (AIM DTP (MRC) funded PhD in T cell Dysfunction in diffuse large B cell lymphoma)

I'm looking at faulty immune cells in people with a severe type of blood cancer.
