I've raised £600 to fund a science project on the effect of vitamin C on cancer cells
Organised by Adrian Tsui
After reading 'Oxygen: the molecule that made the world' by Nick Lane, I was fascinated by how vitamin C, a common antioxidant, could in fact act as a pro-oxidant in the presence of iron in tumours. I decided to explore more, and planned an experiment to look into this problem. Our results will provide insight into the possibility of using vitamin C as an alternative cancer treatment.
