About me
I recently joined UWE Bristol as a research-focused (≥50% research-time) Senior Lecturer and Principal Investigator in Biomedical Sciences.
I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Warwick, followed by a PhD with Prof Chris Paraskeva in the Cancer Research UK Colorectal Tumour Biology group at the University of Bristol. I went on to hold senior Cancer Research UK- and BBSRC-funded postdoctoral positions at the University of Bristol, where I retain an Honorary Senior Lectureship in the School of Cellular & Molecular Medicine and maintain active collaborations.
My lab is based in the Centre for Research in Biosciences. We are interested in understanding the role of cell signalling in the tumour microenvironment during cancer development. We are using the latest tissue culture models of cancer (including 3D organoids) and omics technologies (transcriptomics and proteomics) coupled with bioinformatics to understand how hypoxia (reduced tissue oxygen levels) drives cancer development.
Since joining UWE in 2019, I have secured substantial funding from the Wellcome Trust and Bowel Cancer UK, along with a Vice-Chancellor's Early Career Researcher Award.
My recent work in the hypoxia field has attracted significant media attention that includes interviews for BBC Radio and comments in the Guardian.

I am always keen to hear from prospective PhD students. If you are interested in doing a PhD in my lab, please get in touch.
