'Masked' cancer-killing drugs avoid harming healthy cells – new research from our alumna Dr Lavinia Dunsmore

6 July 2022

A new methodology, developed by our Cambridge Biosciences DTP alumna, Dr Lavinia Dunsmore, during her PhD, has created a way to avoid the toxicity of some plant-derived cancer-killing drugs by 'masking' their toxicity until they reach their targets, potentially leading to more effective cancer therapies. Using the new...
