Summary
Trigger Warning: this episode discusses cancer, cancer treatment, discrimination, deprivation and clinical trials. Episode 192: Part of the Living With and Beyond Cancer Series (Part 19) Description: In this powerful episode, Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara sit down with Georgiana Synesi . Georgiana is a final year PhD student at the Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit at the Institute of Cancer Research, London . Her undergraduate and Masters’ degrees are both in pharmacology, but her interest in working with different stakeholders (rather than cells!) to solve problems led her to clinical trials. Her research is all about making cancer clinical trials more inclusive. Georgiana plans to hand in her thesis by the end of 2025, and after that will hopefully continue her research in a postdoctoral role. This episode is a deep dive into Georgiana’s career, barriers and enablers to clinical trials along with what other researchers can do to ensure better representation of marginalised groups in clinical research trials.
