Phil Blower is Professor of Imaging Chemistry in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences at King's College London. He's a chemist at heart, with an interest in 'molecular imaging' using radioactive drugs.  He has more than 180 peer reviewed papers and has supervised more than 30 PhD students. However, in the first weeks of his first academic post, Phil was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Maggie talked to Phil about his work to develop new radioactive drugs for imaging and treating cancer, his thoughts on future developments in the Nuclear Medicine field and, of course, about his experience of having cancer himself.

We'd like to thank the Public Engagement team in the Centre for Medical Engineering at King's College London for their support of this podcast.
