Research Interests

The characterisation of genomic abnormalities that drive the development of haematological malignancies has progressed significantly over the past 40 years. One major advance has been the link between genetic abnormalities and outcome. My research has provided two such examples highlighting that rearrangements involving the immunoglobulin loci (Ig) and the cytokine receptor CRLF2 are associated with a poor outcome. These findings have led to treatment changes within the United States and are currently being used to inform the next paediatric and adult ALL treatment trials within the UK.

I am known within the field of leukaemia research for characterising novel and recurrent translocations involving the Ig loci. My future research goals are to increase the molecular and understanding of both CRLF2 and Ig driven malignancies.

Due to the heterogeneity of Ig rearrangements in haematological malignancies, I wish to pursue a challenging programme of research which aims to exploit a common mechanism driving the cancer, to provide a unified treatment option for this disparate group of diseases. With over 7,200 patients (23% of all haematological malignancies) diagnosed with an Ig rearranged malignancy each year in the UK, targeting the molecular switch which allows these rearrangements to overexpress oncogenes, could provide common mechanisms to exploit therapeutically to increase the cure rates for this poor prognostic subtype.
