RESEARCH

  • Translational cancer research

    Translational cancer research is forging ahead at an increasing pace. As the molecular pathways that are disturbed in cancer are being unravelled, new therapeutic targets are being identified and novel drugs are being developed. These advances are being translated into clinical trials with a view to providing personalized cancer care, in which the genetic makeup of an individual tumour and other biomarkers can predict the combination of treatments that it will best respond to.
     
  • Sex and stigma

    This week's Nature Video presents Françoise Barré-Sinoussi who won her Nobel Prize for identifying HIV as the cause of AIDS. The virus is made more dangerous by the social stigmas that surround infection. Young physicist Markita Landry explores social and educational issues in HIV research with Françoise. The pair also share their experiences of life as women working in science.
