Abstract

Dr Francesca Ciccarelli (The Francis Crick Institute, UK) and Dr James De Gregori (University of Colorado, USA) interview 3 top scientists in clinical (Dr Charles Swanton, The Francis Crick Institute, UK), molecular (Dr Kornelia Polyak, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, USA), and evolutionary cancer research (Dr Carlo Maley, Arizona State University, USA) to discuss the current status of knowledge, the challenges, and the opportunities to move the field forward.
