Elspeth McGuigan - MSc Genomic Medicine student
"This is a rapidly developing field, and I believe the future of curing many diseases including cancer will use personalised medicine as the mainstream therapy. By continuing to research the genetics of many diseases, genomic medicine will change how the world works by developing new and effective medicine."
