Funded Activity Summary

Cancer is a genetic disease – it occurs because of genetic changes in the body that change how a cell grows, and because it occurs more often in people who have an inherited predisposition to cancer. My aim is to uncover more of the genetic events that give rise to cancer, particularly of the breast, ovary and stomach, so that we can identify people at high risk, and advice them accordingly, and also so that we can devise better treatments directed at particular genetic alterations.
