Dr Özgen Deniz
Senior Lecturer

Our research aims to understand the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements and how their dysregulation contributes to the generation and development of cancer. In particular, we investigate their roles as gene regulators and triggers of anti-tumour immunity in blood cancers.

Dr Audrey Lumeau

My research focuses on understanding the relationship between chromosome instability mechanisms and tumour cells’ resistance to therapies.

Dr Meng-Lay Lin

My research interest focuses on risk stratification signatures for Barrett’s oesophagus progression to cancer using high throughput multiplexed imaging, bioinformatics, shallow whole genome sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics.

Dr Emma Bailey

I am providing bioinformatics support for several projects focusing on squamous cell carcinoma. This generally involves developing bioinformatics pipelines for large-scale cancer datasets and utilising computational approaches for analysis, with the overall aim being to uncover novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

Professor Marco Gerlinger
Professor of Gastrointestinal Cancer Medicine; Consultant Medical Oncologist and Director of GI Cancer Research at St. Bartholomew's Hospital

We are investigating how drug resistance evolves in bowel and gastro-oesophageal cancers, how these tumour types can be treated more effectively through novel immunotherapies and targeted drugs, and how treatment sensitivity and resistance can be predicted.

Dr Nathaniel Mon Père

I investigate mathematical properties of somatic evolution in the context of both cancerous and healthy tissue.
