Professional biography
I did my PhD research at King's College, London.
Post-doctoral positions at King's College London, Guy's Hospital, MRC National Institute for Medical Research, MRC Clinical Sciences Centre (Imperial).
MRC Collaborative Career Development Fellowship in Stem Cell Research.
Research interests
My lab works mainly on improving the effectiveness of the anti-cancer treatments photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy. A full list of my research publications can be found at PubMed or Researchgate
A two-year clinical trial of our new combination PDT, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, began in October 2013. On the basis of the excellent trial results, this has been adopted as a standard treatment option by Cambridge Veterinary School.

Development of H19-targeting antisense oligonucleotides for DIPG therapy
| Role | Start date | End date | Funding source |

| Co-investigator | 01 Feb 2020 | 31 Jan 2021 | Abbie's Army |
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most frequent paediatric brainstem malignancy, and it is invariably associated with a dire prognosis [1]. DIPG is characterized by diffuse infiltrative growth patterns and by an invasive phenotype that underpins its inadequate response to both pharmacological and surgical treatments. DIPG response to radio- or chemo- and targeted therapies is short lived at best. Hence, it is of paramount importance to identify new targets for the development of effective therapies. The genomic landscape of DIPG has been recently described as an heterogenous collection of mutations and copy number variations in protein-coding genes. The most frequent mutation occurs at histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27M) resulting in widespread epigenetic deregulation. Despite intensive research, no effective protein-targeting therapy has been developed for DIPG. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding transcripts longer than 200bp. For several decades, lncRNAs have been considered non-functional transcriptional noise. Recent deep sequencing data have revealed that lncRNAs represent a vast and largely uncharted region of the human transcriptome (more than 50,000 unique loci, 100nMol), broad CNS distribution and rapid cellular uptake. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are clinically approved molecules that target and silence specific RNA sequences. Our group has shown that antisense ASOs can efficiently target oncogenic lncRNAs. In this project, we will to develop lncRNA-targeting ASOs to stop DIPG proliferation, with the final goal of developing personalised therapies for this incurable disease | |||
