EXPs by Fiona Watt
I truly believe that what we call the field of advanced therapies – so that’s cells, genes or cells plus genes – is going to provide benefit to patients over the next 5 to 10 years.
A good scientist should share the results and should not put pressure on other people, particularly people they have influence on, to shape the results.
In terms of creating society’s trust in scientists, the most important thing must be to be willing to explain the science – the knowns and the unknowns.
