Why Helsinki? 🇫🇮
Not just for the ideal 2–13 °C running weather!
I spent a semester at the University of Helsinki via Erasmus, where I first experienced world-class research.
That inspired me to apply for my Cancer Research UK studentship at Oxford.

Most of our research is published in peer-reviewed journals (see PubMed or Google Scholar).
Running this marathon is my way to thank Cancer Research UK — and to share how scientists contribute to the fight against cancer.

Over the years, my colleagues & I have revealed how cells “talk” to each other by mapping proteins in 3D at atomic resolution.
These mechanisms often fail in cancer.
Understanding them could lead to new treatments 💡🔬

I’m a structural biologist, studying how molecules in our cells work.
This helps us understand what goes wrong in cancer — and how we might fix it.
Cancer Research UK funded my PhD at Oxford & continues to support my research today 🙏

Why Cancer Research UK?
1 in 6 deaths worldwide is caused by cancer.
Mortality rates have fallen since the 1990s thanks to better science & treatments — but progress depends on continued research into the biology behind cancer.
