Funded Activity Summary

My research is focused on using genetic approaches to understand the basis of cancer, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. Although many risk factors have been identified for these cancers, they do not lend themselves to primary prevention, except for high risk individuals who opt for prophylactic surgery, and so there is an urgent need to understand the aetiology of these cancers in order to develop better risk prediction algorithms and risk reduction medications.
