Our research interests include:
- Fundamental research into the cellular responses to DNA damage induced by radiation with the aim of understanding the processes that lead to cancer development and which constitute potential therapeutic targets
- Clinical studies conducted with the intent to improve radiation therapy by improving models and developing more effective treatment protocols
- Investigations in humans and human materials which examine the radiation responses of cells and tissues to better understand the biology of disease and provide the scientific base for the development of new or improved therapies for human disease
- Translational research taking advantage of new and on-going clinical trials in cancer often of novel and modifications of existing therapies and also to develop novel predictive and prognostic biomarkers.
