Professor Clare Davies

Professor of Cancer Cell Biology

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Clare Davies is a Reader of Cancer Cell Biology in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, where her research is focused on understanding the role of PRMTs, enzymes that catalyse methylation of arginine residues, in cancer pathogenesis. This is important as inhibitors to specific PRMTs are in pre-clinical development for cancer therapy.

Clare started her research group in 2012 as a ...

Professor Jon Frampton

Professor Jon Frampton

Professor of Stem Cell Biology

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Professor Jon Frampton is a stem cell biologist. His primary area of interest is in how stem cells operate in adults. Jon’s research involves examining the processes that regulate stem cells to determine how these fail during ageing or as part of disease processes, especially in cancer.

The principle focus is on bone marrow stem cells that give rise to our blood cells. Understanding this ...

Professor Aga Gambus

Professor Aga Gambus

Professor of DNA Metabolism
Wellcome Trust and Lister Fellow

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Professor Aga Gambus moved to Cancer Sciences in 2011 to start her independent research. She was awarded MRC Career Development Award and Birmingham Fellowship supporting her research into regulation of DNA replication through small protein modifiers: ubiquitin and SUMO.

Aga’s group discovered the first elements of the mechanism of replication machinery disassembly at termination of DNA ...

Dr Paloma Garcia

Dr Paloma Garcia

Associate Professor of Stem Cells and Genome Stability

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

The Garcia group research interest is to understand the molecular mechanisms that maintain genome integrity in stem cells and how loss of genome integrity leads to development of cancer during ageing. Her research focuses on both embryonic stem cells ESC/iPSC and adult stem cells, in particular haemopoietic stem cells and breast cancer initiating cells.

Professor Neil Hotchin

Professor Neil Hotchin

Professor in Molecular Cell Biology

School of Biosciences

Professor Hotchin is a molecular cell biologist with an interest in how cells interact with their immediate environment and how those interactions regulate functions such as cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. He has published a number of high impact papers on the role of small GTP-binding proteins in control of cell function and, more recently, on the role of membrane tyrosine ...
