Professor Janet Rowley

Professor Janet Rowley was a pioneering scientist who greatly advanced our understanding of cancer biology. She discovered that specific chromosomal abnormalities, or changes in the structure of our DNA, are linked to certain types of cancer. Her research showed that genetic mutations can drive cancer development, leading to targeted treatments. Rowley's work transformed cancer diagnosis and therapy, making her a key figure in molecular genetics and medicine. Her contributions have helped improve outcomes for countless patients and continue to influence cancer research today.
