“Glasgow really is a spectacular place to do this kind of work.” – Professor Ross Cagan.

Professor Ross Cagan, Regius Chair of Precision Medicine at the University of Glasgow and academic lead of the Living Laboratory programme, recently sat down with Kadans Science Partner to discuss how his team is pioneering new approaches to advanced cancer therapeutics and personalised medicine.

Using fruit flies as living avatars of human disease, Professor Cagan's lab is pushing the boundaries of cancer research and shaping the future of treatment – with an approach that is bold, innovative, and deeply collaborative. That spirit of collaboration is exactly what makes Glasgow special. Here, researchers, clinicians, industry partners, and communities are working side by side to drive healthcare innovation forward. As Ross says, “Everybody here is pulling in one direction, and Glasgow is pretty famous for doing this.”

Curious to learn more about Professor Cagan's groundbreaking work and hear how science and collaboration meet in Glasgow? The full episode of 'Behind the Science' is now available to watch on the Kadans website.
