Zack: Hello, Prof. Godfrey Grech, it’s great to have you here today! Can you tell us a little bit about your work in cancer research?
Prof. Grech: Of course, Zack. I am a scientist who is dedicated to finding ways to prevent and treat cancer. In my cancer research lab, I and my team study how different factors, such as lifestyle and the environment, can affect our health and lead to the development of cancer.
Zack: That sounds really important! Can you explain how you are using your research to help detect cancer early and stop it from spreading?
Prof. Grech: Yes, by understanding the factors that can lead to cancer, we can develop ways to detect the disease in its early stages. This gives us a better chance of treating it effectively and preventing it from spreading to other parts of the body. We also study ways to keep our bodies healthy, like having a healthy gut, to reduce the risk of developing cancer in the first place.
Zack: That’s amazing! I also have a big interest in gut health. Can you explain why having a healthy gut is so important for reducing the risk of cancer?
Prof. Grech: Our gut is a complex system of organs and microbes that plays a key role in our overall health. By maintaining a healthy gut, we can support our bodies in many ways, including reducing the risk of developing cancer. A healthy gut helps us to digest food properly, absorb nutrients, and regulate our immune system, all of which can impact our risk of developing cancer.
Zack: That’s really interesting, Prof. Grech. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us today. It’s clear how important your work is in helping people stay healthy and prevent cancer.
Prof. Grech: You’re welcome, Zack. It’s great to see young people like you who are interested in health and wellness. Keep learning and stay healthy!
