Dr Rui Monteiro

Associate Professor

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

The Monteiro Lab studies the fundamental mechanisms underpinning haematopoiesis in development and homeostasis and how perturbations in these mechanisms lead to haematopoietic disease.

What factors direct cells of a particular lineage(endothelium) to de-differentiate and become a stem cell for a different tissue type (blood)? How do these stem cells maintain the balance between differentiation ...

Professor Jo Morris

Professor Jo Morris

Professor of Molecular Genetics

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Professor Jo Morris is interested in the way our cells maintain and repair our genome, keeping our DNA intact.

A particular interest is the functions of the breast and ovarian cancer predisposition protein BRCA1 and the way it works in controlling DNA resection and DNA replication. She also works on the small modifier proteins, ubiquitin and SUMO and is interested in how these change the way ...

Dr Marco Saponaro

Dr Marco Saponaro

Associate Professor

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Dr Saponaro is interested in characterising mechanisms of genome stability maintenance. In particular, he is interested in understanding how RNA Pol II transcription and DNA replication are coordinated, and how in context with defective transcription this can lead to increased genome instability. He develops his research combining whole genome analyses with functional studies. He characterises ...

Professor Tatjana Stankovic

Professor in Cancer Genetics

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Professor Stankovic is a passionate advocate of translational research in the fields of DNA damage response and hematologic malignancies. For over two decades, her group has studied different ways to manipulate defective DNA damage responses in tumour cells for therapeutic benefit. A particular emphasis is given to the concept of synthetic lethality and pharmacological targeting of compensatory ...

Professor Grant Simon Stewart

Professor of Cancer Genetics

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Professor Grant Stewart is a Professor of Cancer Genetics in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences.

Defective repair of DNA damage is the most frequent underlying cause of genetic instability and cancer development. Professor Stewart's research focuses on understanding how the cell detects and repairs damage to its DNA and how defects in this process contribute to the development of ...
