PhD projects

My laboratory is interested in understanding signalling downstream of different KRAS mutations leading to the formation and progression of lung adenocarcinoma. We are also investigating small-cell lung cancer and, in particular, trying to understand the molecular mechanisms leading to plasticity in this cancer, which underpins its very metastatic nature.

Personal profile

Overview

A focus of my laboratory over the years has been the mechanisms that control cell plasticity, cell migration and invasion, definitive characteristics of malignant cells essential for metastasis. Recently, we have been studying these phenomena in the context of KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma and small-cell lung cancer. We have also been addressing KRAS-mutant isoform-selective signalling and functions in lung cancer development, progression and response to therapies in close collaboration with Dr Colin Lindsay at Christie Hospital, Manchester.
