Injury and brain cancer. Two sides of the same coin?

Glioblastoma is the most common type of brain tumour in adults. Current treatments extend survival but do not cure. Tumours arise from cells that acquire mutations and begin to divide uncontrollably. Yet, even normal tissues contain many mutations. Prof. Simona Parrinello discusses how brain injury shapes all stages of glioblastoma development and how unravelling this interaction uncovers new avenues for intervention.

Women in Medicine and the Gender Pay Gap

Women have worked in medicine for over 100 years but are still under-represented at the top of the profession. This is a reflection of women in society. Women have struggled to reach equality of both status and pay. The Gender Pay Gap in medicine is large for a single professional group. Prof. Dame Jane Dacre explores gender pay inequality in the medical field and highlights strategies that could help address pay disparities.
