Profile
I have extensive experience of in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo translational cancer research with a focus on therapeutic cancer prevention. A key focus of this was on delivery of bench-to-bedside cancer research programmes as part of the Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre Network.
In my current role as manager for the Institute for Precision Health, the Drug Discovery and Diagnostics team and the UKRI MRC Impact Acceleration Account award, I am able to hasten translational research across the University. Interdisciplinarity is a key part of this, and I look forward to working with colleagues from across the colleges, the NHS and Industry to hasten the discovery process for health benefit.
