I use genomics to try and understand brain cancer - and how we can better treat it. She/her
University of Leeds
Joined January 2016
Please see our overview of our most recently published research below - and the link to the actual paper:

Background Glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumors lacking IDH1 mutations (IDHwt) have the worst prognosis of all brain neoplasms. Patients receive surgery and chemoradiotherapy but tumors almost always...
We are thrilled to have published our recent findings regarding the way that GBM tumours adapt to, and survive, treatment in @GenomeBiology. This brief thread highlights what we found: 1/8

What an honour to have @abhinavjain_phd from @MDAndersonNews come & tell us all about his pioneering epigenomics research. Thanks 4 a great talk, & joining some of the @GliomaGenomics 4 lunch afterwards. Excited to see what our collaborative efforts in GBM profiling will reveal!
I had a great pleasure to visit @UniversityLeeds to present our work on #lncRNA #p53 #epigenomics. Thank you @LucyFStead for the kind invitation & arranging my visit. Also, honored to catch up with Prof. John Ladbury and interacting with the wonderful trainees!!

Pledges to increase brain tumour research funding in the UK have not improved outcomes, as was hoped. Our position paper opines why "Adult brain tumour research in 2024: Status, challenges and recommendations" @KarinPurshouse @allyrooney @jenkinsonmd

📢Calling all paediatric brain tumour researchers 📢 Grants of up to £20k are available to fund projects over a 12-month duration 🧪🧬🧑🔬👩🔬🧠.
Clinical trustee @LeedsNeuro recently launched our Research Call at the British Paediatric Neuro-oncology Group conference in Leeds. Head to to learn more as we look for innovative project ideas that help children at any point along the paediatric pathway

Well done, Morgan, we're super proud of you 🥳.
Our own Morgan Thomas, part of @LeedsMedAI_CDT, won Best Poster at the Northern Bioinformatic User Group meeting last week, showcasing his fantastic PhD research using machine learning to assess brain tumour purity – so necessary 4 downstream analyses @LIMRleeds @LeedsCancerRes

Heading home after 2 amazing days of cancer science & sightseeing in beautiful Leuven; full of ideas & inspiration for tackling therapy driven plasticity in GBM. Highlight talks for me were @KarunaGaneshLab @LeilaAkkari1 @ItaiYanai & Dana Pe'er #THPT23 @VIBConferences
🏁And that's the end for #THPT23. We want to thank all the attendees, speakers, & sponsors for making this an unforgettable 2nd edition. We hope you enjoyed yourself, have a safe trip home, and look forward to seeing you at a future VIB Conference! 👋#VIBConf

It was a real honour to watch @Rhiannon_Barrow graduate yesterday. It wasn't always easy (trying to cure brain cancer is tough, & through COVID to boot!) but she worked hard & showed great problem-solving ability & resilience. A PhD well earned. Congratulations Dr Barrow 👏 🙌👩🎓
