Susan Woods wants you to put her out of a job.
And she's not even asking that much of you – in fact you may have already done your bit.
Susan is a gut cancer researcher. If everyone who was eligible did their bowel screening test, she'd probably be unemployed.
But just in case, she's looking into solutions for the worst prognosis bowel cancers and conscripting certain microbes to help her do it.

Dr Susan Woods
