PhD student, @Lorrainesmith_1 is exploring a new way to treat Barrett’s oesophagus using electroporation - a gentler method.
Funded by @BreakthroCancer through the @AllCaN_BCR programme, her work could pave the way for a new clinical trial for people with #BarrettsOesophagus

Early diagnosis of #OvarianCancer could raise survival to 90% - but it’s hard to detect.
At @TCDTMI, Dr. Sharon O’Toole & Marika Kanjuga are developing a blood test to catch it earlier.
