Visualizing proteins involved in cell regulation in breast cancer tumors is an important step towards understanding and fighting the most widely diagnosed cancer in women. Sarah Boyle’s winning photo from last year’s ‘Research in progress’ photo competition captures the active form of a protein that increases as cells start to become invasive. In this Q&A we speak to her about her research, what winning the competition meant, and advice for this year’s entrants.
