“I have worked with Sian & Kate founders of Toucan Tech for the past four years in my role as Alumni Officer at Concord College. Sian is incredibly switched on - so intelligent and insightful but with all the interpersonal skills too! She really is the whole package. I can't recommend Toucan Tech enough - their brilliance however is underpinned by both Sian & Kate, both of whom I 100% recommend. They take a hands on approach to everything they do. It's been an honor to work and get to know you both. ”

Resveratrol: Inhibitory Effects on Metastatic Cell Behaviors and Voltage-Gated Na+ Channel Activity in Rat Prostate Cancer In Vitro
Nutrition and Cancer
See publicationI conducted some very early stage, preliminary research into resveratrol following on from the final year project of my Biology BSc at Imperial College London. On finding a positive results, the research continued after I was long gone and resulted in a publication. I particularly enjoy the idea that red wine (which contains resveratrol) has medicinal properties!

On finding a positive results, the research continued after I was long gone and resulted in a publication. I particularly enjoy the idea that red wine (which contains resveratrol) has medicinal properties!
Resveratrol, a natural plant phenolic found at high concentration in red grapes, has been suggested to have a range of health benefits. Here, we tested its effects on metastatic cell behaviors.
These results suggest 1) that a significant mode of action of resveratrol is VGSC blockage and 2) that resveratrol has promise as a natural antimetastatic agent.
