Biography
I am a DPhil candidate and Clarendon Scholar within the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences (NDS). I am a part of the Bone Oncology Group (NDORMS/NDS), Oxford Prostate Cancer Biology Group (NDS), and Davis Group (Dept. of Chemistry). Furthermore, I am co-supervised by Claire Edwards (NDS/NDORMS), Alastair Lamb (Barts Cancer Institute, QMUL), Ian Mills (NDS), Todd M. Morgan (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor), and Jason Davis (Dept. of Chemistry). My research centers around prostate cancer metastasis and circulating tumour cell isolation methodology.
My broad research areas of interest include cancer biomarkers, circulating tumour cells, cancer genetics, and prostate cancer.
