Research interests

Miss Gupta was awarded her MD from the University of London for research into colorectal cancer. This followed a two year period of research at the Royal Free Hospital, London into the insulin-like growth factor system and how this has an effect on the development of colorectal cancer, as well as ways in which this effect may be attenuated. As a result of this work she has published papers and had presentations at many national and international meetings.
