| | Translating discoveries with Anaid Benetiz |
| | Our Scientific Features Editor, Phil Prime, sat down with the Crick’s very first Translation Scholar to learn more about the role, what drives her dedication to translational research and how she raises funds for proof-of-concept cancer innovation projects.
After establishing her career as a basic scientific researcher, Anaid then entered the translational space, inspired to develop a novel diagnostic test to assess the DNA repair capacity of tumour samples.
She has since gone on to run a nationwide campaign to fund translational research and bring life-saving innovations from bench to bedside. |
