Professor Frances Balkwill of Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary, University of London, is driven by two passions: translating basic cancer research into new patient therapies and encouraging science literacy in children through a range of communication-based activities. In this interview, she discusses current challenges in translational cancer research and how the two arms of her career inspire one another.
