\n \n \n \nWorld Cancer Day takes place on February 4 each year. Researchers at Ludwig Oxford and the wider NDM are trying to understand the epidemiology and potential causes of cancer, its effect on patient lives and outcomes, as well as the basic science underpinning the unregulated cell growth that is the hallmark of the disease. To mark World Cancer Day, NDM has asked some of our scientists - including Xin Lu - about their research.

\n \n \n \nListen to Ludwig scientist Skirmantas Kriaucionis discussing his research on epigenetics and cancer. Epigenetic modifications such as methylations alter which sets of genes are expressed in specific cells and how this specificity is inherited across cell divisions. Cancer cells show particular epigenetic abnormalities which can be targeted for cancer therapies. More podcasts are available here

\n \n \n \nEngaging the public with research helps empower people, broadens attitudes to academic research, and ensures that the work we do is relevant to society and its wider social concerns. Establishing a dialogue between researchers and the public means that society can benefit more fully from research outputs.
