Research
We have an interest in the identification, characterisation and functional analysis of genes that contribute to the development of colorectal cancer. This includes genes responsible for rare inherited predispositions to cancer, as well as genes that are defective in the more common sporadic forms of cancer.
Approaches to the study of these genes have included linkage analysis in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome pedigrees to identify the responsible gene, and mutation surveys of the DNA mismatch repair genes and the mitotic spindle checkpoint genes in a series of sporadic colorectal cancers. We are also using yeast systems to analyse the function of human DNA mismatch repair gene variants and applying functional genomics approaches to further understand the mitotic spindle checkpoint pathway.
