What if we had a cure for 1 in 20 cancer patients? Even better, what if we could cure cancer before it even occurred?

Meet Anna Giuliano, an epidemiologist at the Moffitt Cancer Center and the director of the Centre for Infection Research in Cancer. There she specializes in research on the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV (not to be confused with HIV!). How does HPV cause cancers and how can we cure them with a simple vaccine? Listen in to find out more about Anna’s research, the benefits of recruiting Taylor Swift, and how sometimes girls and boys are the same.

Thanks to Hadleigh Ford for the unique track written especially for us! You can listen to and download more of his music here. Cheers to the New World Brewery for the beer and pizza.
