Professor John F. Marshall
Professor of Tumour Biology
I study the biology of tumour invasion with a particular focus on the roles of the adhesion molecules expressed on the cell surface that mediate this process. Our group concentrates on the study of integrins that are the principal family of adhesion molecules that mediate the interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix.
Dr Angus James Cameron
Senior Lecturer
My research focuses on kinases regulating cancer cell growth and motility to understand how and when to target them with drugs. My group is currently examining the role of the PKN kinases in malignant progression.
Dr Mirjana Efremova
Lecturer
We are interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that promote cancer cell plasticity and adaptation of tumour cells in metastatic niches and under therapeutic pressure.
Dr Susana Godinho
Reader in Cancer Cell Biology
Our research group focuses on understanding how centrosome amplification impacts tumour progression and how we can target cells with amplified centrosomes to develop new cancer therapies.
Professor Louise Jones
Professor of Breast Pathology
My research in breast cancer focuses on the progression of in-situ to invasive disease with the aims of identifying 1) markers which can predict behaviour and 2) novel therapeutic targets.
Dr Ioanna Keklikoglou
Lecturer
Our group focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that mediate resistance to anti-cancer therapies in breast cancer. We are interested in dissecting the microenvironmental cues that orchestrate specific tumour responses and metastasis formation.
Dr Stéphanie Kermorgant
Reader in Cellular Oncology
We study the role of growth factor receptor signalling and intracellular trafficking (movement inside cells) in tumour growth and metastasis in the view of improving cancer therapy.
Dr Luigi Ombrato
Lecturer
My group studies how different populations of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment cross-talk in order to establish a “favourable” niche in metastasis.
Dr Oliver M. Pearce
Lecturer
The focus of our research is the tumour microenvironment and we are particularly interested in understanding the composition and function of the tumour extracellular matrix in immunosuppression. Cancer types we focus on include ovarian and breast cancers.
Professor Thomas Powles
Professor of Genitourinary Oncology, Director, Barts Cancer Centre, 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 Paulo Ribeiro
Senior Lecturer
Our research group is interested in uncovering the molecular mechanisms regulating tissue growth, invasion and metastasis using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a genetically tractable model organism.
Professor Victoria Sanz-Moreno
Professor of Cancer Cell Biology
Our research focuses on how the cytoskeleton of cancer cells regulates transcriptional rewiring during tumour growth and dissemination. We aim to understand how such rewiring affects the tumour microenvironment.
