Growing cancer in chicken eggs

King’s College, London.

It’s predicted from Cancer Research UK’s data that 1 in 2 of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. In this short documentary, and in collaboration with King’s College London, Understanding Animal Research explores one of the alternative models being used in cancer research. Professor Tim Witney explains how his team is trying to reduce the number of mice used in science and medical research when imaging cancer, by using chicken eggs.
