Students in the Biochemistry’s Cancer Research Group (CRC) analyse and study the ability of novel metal compounds and indigenous medicinal plants to induce cell death in cancer cells. By doing so, the students, together with Dr Marianne Cronje, Head of Department:Biochemistry and Supervisor of CRC, took the lead in this initiative to create awareness about cancer at UJ.
“The volunteers worked hard at making the CANSA shavathon a big success. The message was loud and clear on the day – ‘Fight Cancer and support Cancer Survivors!’” said Siobhan Jenkins, a Biochemistry Masters’ student who organised the shavathon.
The Dean of the Faculty of Science, Professor Kinta Burger, also supported the initiative by having her hair sprayed in multiple colours on the day.
