How Dr Shara Cohen Turned a Cancer Diagnosis into a Mission That Science Could Not Ignore

The Origin:

In 2013 Dr Shara Cohen received a breast cancer diagnosis that changed everything she thought she knew about the healthcare system.

The Gap She Saw:

What she discovered was not just a treatment path — it was a profound gap in how the world supports people living with cancer.

What She Built:

That gap became Cancer Care Parcel — and later the Women in STEM Network — two ventures built not from ambition but from lived experience.

The Credibility:

With a Cambridge PhD, 100 published papers and a British Empire Medal — Dr Shara is not just a founder. She is one of the most quietly powerful voices in UK health innovation.

The Vision:

Her story is only just beginning to be discovered. This is where it starts.
