Why Can't We Find a Cure for Cancer?

Iraís Ortiz-Caraveo

Biomedical Engineering Masters student at the University of New Mexico currently working in the Department of Pathology for the UNM School of Medicine as a research assistant (recently published YAY). 1^st generation high school and college student

"Why does it takes so long to find treatments and why do those treatments tend to fail? I’ve noticed that most people are pretty shocked to learn that we are quite limited (time, manpower, resources) in the ways we can conduct research surrounding this topic. Hollywood has created the illusion that answering scientific questions is a smooth ride and that scientists have all the tools to get answers, when in reality we don’t. But, that does not mean that we don’t try." -Iraís
