Trying to cure cancer by not trying to cure cancer

“I’m a scientist and I study cancer. But sometimes I go for a wander”.
Richard White, from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, is a cancer biologist searching for a cure in the unlikeliest of places. While scientists traditionally try to find solutions to improve patient care in the lab, is there value in taking a more circuitous route to find innovative solutions to treat diseases like cancer?
Join us on a journey of scientific discovery, where research not only aims to help people now, but find solutions that could treat thousands of people in the future.
