How curiosity sparked pioneering cancer research
“I did this research by chance. I was enrolled at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT for my postdoctoral work to develop electrical devices with biotechnology. The institute is focused on cancer research and I happened to view other groups’ work on cancer cells. I thought, ‘This is quite interesting’, and wondered if I could extend my work to cancer research,” said Assistant Prof Desmond Loke.
