Interviews, Interviews

I've got a couple of interviews in the next week or so after a long dry spell. Fingers crossed for these ones! Interestingly, one of the companies is devoted to targetting a gene network that is known to be mutated in many cancers. Sound familiar? For those that don't know, that is basically what Dan is working on for his PhD. It isn't the same gene network, but basically the same idea. If we can work out what goes wrong in a cell to cause proliferation (or lack of death, which amounts to the same thing), perhaps we can target those faults (or spot them when they happen) and treat cancers more effectively. Unfortunately this sort of work is right at the early stages, so it doesn't look like we will be curing cancer any time soon. The other company would be fantastic to work at, I have a really good friend there, and she loves it...there is nothing better than a personal recommendation for a company! Anyway, I'm not about to talk at length about jobs I don't yet have, so let's not get our hopes up yet.

I really must sort out the photos today, and put some up from the New Forest.
