When it came to choosing her career, Sian Farrell knew she wanted to help cancer patients, and her determination has led her to a potentially life-changing discovery.
The 29-year-old from Coleraine has co-founded an innovative new technology which could help change the efficacy of some cancer treatments. StimOxyGen Technology aims to help address the lack of oxygen at cancer sites which could 'potentially improve the efficiency of radiotherapy by up to 300%'.
After graduating from Ulster University in 2015, Sian moved to Bristol for two years and worked as a hospital pharmacist, but she later returned home to pursue her passion.
