Research
My group focusses on the development and assessment of new targeted therapies for haematologic malignancies, principally lymphoid lymphomas and leukaemias, with a specific emphasis on the BCL2 family of apoptotic inhibitors. These laboratory studies are closely linked to early phase clinical studies performed in the Hope Clinical Trials Facility in Leicester Royal Infirmary; a particular strength of the group is reverse translational studies.
