Bio

Andrew Holding is a cancer-focused academic and award-winning science communicator. He leads a research team at the University of York. Together they look to understand the impact of steroid hormones on cancer patients. This research is hugely important because steroid hormones are both produced naturally by the body and are essential medications to treat the symptoms of cancer.
