  Hi Katie, I think it’s a really valuable approach. People like me can work in detecting cancers that have grown, and people like Jen can work in removing them, but that’s only ‘fire fighting’ unless we can also get to the root of why they form and stop them growing in the first place. Computer science is a really exciting field and I know people who are doing some really novel things with new techniques in sub-fields like AI and data mining, so if that can be applied to cancer, all the better.
