Over the past 10 years my group has focused on cancer genetic epidemiology and the functional genomic mechanisms that underpin cancer predisposition. Much of my team’s focus has been on susceptibility to breast cancer, with recent emphasis on male breast cancer and radiation induced breast cancer. Current goals are to i) characterise germline susceptibility to breast cancer using functional genetic analysis, ii) define the genomic and histological landscape of male breast tumours, iii) develop blood-based biomarkers for early detection of breast and ovarian cancer and iv) characterise genetic predisposition factors and molecular pathology of radiation induced breast cancer.
