Dr Zuzana Brabcova passed away peacefully on Saturday 6th February 2021.

​

Dr Zuzana Brabcova was an amazing Bio-Informatician and Computational Biologist, whose post was funded by the Howat Foundation. Dr Brabcova was a post doc in Dr Vignir Helgason’s lab, which has identified that Leukaemic stem cells which give rise to Leukaemia are very metabolically distant from normal stem cells. As a computational scientist she was working with numbers to show exactly how different Leukaemic stem cells are from normal stem cells. She was aiming to find out how they differ and how to target their vulnerabilities or “Achillies Heels”.
