Professor Hemant Kocher
Professor of Liver and Pancreas Surgery
My clinical research interests include tissue banking, clinical trials, innovative surgical techniques, epidemiology, meta-analysis and patient care pathways. My translational research interests include pancreatic cancer stroma and tumour-stroma cross-talk including cell signalling, adhesion, metastasis and invasion.
Professor Daniel M Berney
Honorary Professor of Genito-urinary Pathology; Consultant Pathologist
My focus is on the pathology and natural history of prostate, testicular and penile cancer working to translate basic research into practical treatments for patients with novel tests and bespoke predictive treatments.
Professor Tatjana Crnogorac-Jurcevic
Professor of Molecular Pathology and Biomarkers
My research focuses on molecular pathology of pancreatic cancer, in particular its development and progression. We are using this knowledge to develop biomarkers for early, non-invasive detection of this malignancy in urine specimens.
Professor John Gribben
Professor of Medical Oncology
My primary research interests include the immunotherapy of cancer (including stem cell transplantation), the identification of B-cell-tumour antigens; and the detection and treatment of minimal residual disease in leukaemia and lymphoma.
Dr Rifca Le Dieu
Clinical Reader
I am the Module Lead for 3 undergraduate Biomedical Science Modules. I am also the Cancer Theme Lead for MBBS with direct responsibility for Year 2 Cancer Week. In addition, I supervise MSc project dissertations.
Professor Michelle Lockley
Clinical Professor of Medical Oncology, Honorary Consultant
Our lab aims to improve treatments for women with ovarian cancer, particularly those that are resistant to chemotherapy. We are interested in developing therapies that can adapt to the evolution of chemotherapy resistance over time such as Adaptive Therapy.
Professor Jessica Okosun
Professor of Translational Cancer Research
My research focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms that underlie the initiation and progression of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in order to define clinically-relevant biomarkers.
Professor Thomas Powles
Professor of Genitourinary Oncology; Director, Barts Cancer Centre at St. Bartholomew's Hospital; Lead for Solid Tumour Research
My main research interests are in genital and urinary cancers, leading a spectrum of clinical studies from phase I to randomised phase III. The majority of the studies are translational phase II studies investigating novel targeted and immune therapies.
Dr David Propper
Reader in Medical Oncology; Consultant Medical Oncologist
My focus is on detailed translational trials in pancreatic cancer, with a focus on targeting the tumour microenvironment. Our aim is to define what perturbations occur in tumours of patients receiving trial drugs.
Professor Peter Schmid
Professor of Cancer Medicine; Centre Lead, Centre of Experimental Cancer Medicine; Director, Barts Breast Cancer Centre
My research interests focus on improving the care of women with breast cancer through clinical trials. I am investigating a variety of novel agents that target specific pathways within cancer cells and the surrounding tissue.
Dr Graeme Thorn
My research focuses on the bioinformatic analyses of DNA methylation of circulating tumour DNA and the use of DNA methylation as a biomarker for breast cancer prognosis.
