Dr Bea Bakshi

Super-charging the fight against cancer, Dr Bea Bakshi set up C the Signs to use the power of data to diagnose cancer at its earliest stages, when it can be treated more successfully. Working on the frontline in UK hospitals, Bea repeatedly saw the heart-breaking impact of late diagnosis. In our FT interview series, Bea talks candidly about her experience and how, alongside co-founder Dr Miles Payling, they are helping patients beat cancer.
