Siddhartha Mukherjee

Cancer is not one disease but many diseases.

I believe the biggest breakthroughs on cancer could come from brilliant researchers based in India.

Most discoveries even today are a combination of serendipity and of searching.

Down to their innate molecular core, cancer cells are hyperactive, survival-endowed, scrappy, fecund, inventive copies of ourselves.

I left Delhi in 1989 and remember very little of how life used to be then. Increasingly, in my recent visits to Delhi, I've started to realize that the city has become intellectually very lively. It makes me want to discover the city over and over again.
