Ruth Plummer

Biography

Professor Plummer is running early clinical trials to test the drugs in people, and her main aim is to find out what dose of the drugs is safe and how well they are tolerated by patients’ bodies. Her team is also checking that the drugs work the same way inside the body as they did in the lab. Research like Professor Plummer’s is really important for helping to translate the drug discovery research our scientists are doing in the lab into real patient benefit. Finding new, more efficient cancer treatments will be crucial to boosting the number of people surviving the disease.
