Name

Area of expertise

Professor Joan Boyes
Associate Professor

Understanding how errors in V(D)J recombination lead to lymphoid cancers

Dr Edwin Chen
University Academic Fellow

Our lab seeks to understand the impact of the bone marrow microenvironment on normal and malignant haematopoiesis

Dr Andrew Macdonald
Associate Professor in Virology

Communication between keratinocytes and basal fibroblasts is essential both for normal epithelial cell homeostasis and in disease. We aim to understand how this communication is regulated and how it is perturbed in disease

Professor Michelle Peckham
Professor

Role of the cytoskeleton in metastasis

Dr Sreenivasan Ponnambalam
Reader in Human Disease Biology

Regulation of tumour angiogenesis by the VEGF-VEGFR axis

Dr Natalia Riobo-Del Galdo
University Academic Fellow

Regulation of Hedgehog signalling in cancer cells and stromal fibroblasts by autocrine and paracrine communication and its role in the progression of basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, breast and colorectal cancer

Dr Darren Tomlinson
Associate Professor

In vitro and in vivo imaging of solid tumours and cancer cells
