Event Information:  This masterclass will cover a day in the life of a blood cancer research scientist, and how we use different scientific techniques to find more advanced ways of treating blood cancer with immunotherapies. Learn how specific types of blood cancer evolve, and what goes wrong in the human body when cancer begins and grows. Most importantly, you’ll discover how we can treat it and how we produce new and exciting methods for doing this. Rachel Colton is a Senior Research Technician at the Clinical Immunology Service who graduated with an MSci in Biomedical Science from the University of Birmingham in 2024.
