Rob Dryden is a CRUK RadNet PhD student at Queen Mary University London investigating whether a combination of drug and radiation therapy could offer a new strategy to treat cancer.

The aim of this treatment combination is to force cancer cells to self-destruct while attempting to replicate themselves. In this session Rob will talk about the British Science Week theme of Connections, radiation and radiotherapy and his path to becoming a PhD student.
