Summer student Chloe Squires working with Dr Sarah Baird has found that coffee has anti-oxidant properties that can change the growth of cancer cells. This initial research has suggested that depending on the amount, coffee can have a preventative effect on the development of cancer cells and future work will help determine if that daily espresso might also be providing us with some protection against cancer.
