RESEARCH INTERESTS

My main research interest is the underlying genomic errors and molecular pathways that drive tumour development and metastasis; the principal goal of this work is to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of tumours. I have a particular interest/expertise in renal, bone and brain cancers and metastatic breast cancer.
