Meet @itspelicanoc 👩🔬, a 4th year PhD student in @JCarrollLab @CRUK_CI & part of the Ellis Future Leaders Academy by @PancreaticCanUK. Her research on how different CAF populations affect the pancreatic cancer epigenome could reveal new drug targets. #PancCanSpotlightTuesdays



PhD student @itspelicanoc was among early career researchers who presented their work to Parliament at @STEM4Brit '24. The event enabled her to speak to MPs, including @DanielZeichner, about her research, which seeks to identify future therapies for pancreatic cancer.
