Animal Free Labcast #8 - Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Show Notes

To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Carla is joined by Professor Valerie Spiers, breast cancer researcher at the University of Aberdeen supported by Animal Free Research UK. In their conversation, you’ll hear how Val is using fascinating organ-on-a-plate technology to study the spread of cancer, and how her research could benefit patients in the not-too-distant future.


Tune in to find out how Val’s childhood kitchen cupboard experiments sparked her interest in a career in science, and how, years later, she is now engaging the next generation of animal free researchers.
