The dance of death

In the time it takes you to read this one sentence, ten million cells within your body would have died through a type of cell death known as apoptosis. Cell death is vital to remove old and damaged cells, and is associated with many disease settings like cancer. My research harnesses a variety of imaging techniques to study cell death during cancer in vitro (in a dish) and in vivo (inside living organisms)!
