My Work

A graduate of Trinity College Dublin (Genetics, 1983), Professor Lowndes completed post-graduate studies at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research (Glasgow) and Columbia University (New York), receiving his PhD from the University of Glasgow (Molecular Pathology, 1987). His post-doctoral work was conducted at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in London. In 1993 Professor Lowndes established his own laboratory at the Cancer Research UK Clare Hall laboratories (London) before returning to Ireland to take up the Chair of Biochemistry at NUI Galway in 2001, where he is the founding director of the Centre for Chromosome Biology (http://www.chromosome.ie/). In 2003, Professor Lowndes was elected to the membership of the European Molecular Biology Organisation.

Professor Lowndes is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying the DNA damage response (DDR) of human cells. Defects in which are among the earliest events in the oncogenic process. Emerging mechanistic understanding of the DDR is significantly impacting upon the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
