My name is Jinrui Wen and I am a PhD student working on a project funded by Action Against Cancer at Imperial College London examining non-genetic breast cancer. My project is to study the location of a molecule known as 5hmC on human genes and the contribution of 5hmC in breast cancer. With this information we could predict the progression of breast cancer by detecting 5hmC levels, and provide effective treatment by altering the 5hmC levels. I am hoping to contribute to the development of a more accurate diagnostic method and better treatment, particularly for triple negative breast cancer patients for whom there are limited therapies. I would like to help people who have cancer, as my grandmother died of cancer and when doctors said there was no way to help her, I felt really desperate. By studying this promising area of research I hope to help other people. I started running last year, and I am taking part in the Beckenham Half Marathon for Action Against Cancer to raise funds for the charity and also to raise awareness of its work.
