I am leading on evaluation and development of Epigenomics technologies for use in Astra Zeneca's Translational Medicine Oncology group, based at their Darwin building on Cambridge Science Park. I am working with the rest of the TM Labs Team to drive our use of various epigenome analysis methods such as DNA methylation (mC & 5hmC), nucleosome positioning (Fragmentome), histone modification, miRNAs, etc, through development of AZ assay and technology capabilities and via external academic or commercial collaboration and partnering opportunities.
Success for me in Translational Medicine's use of Epigenomics methods means deploying assays for use in Early Detection of cancer as well as Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) and/or diagnostic/prognostic liquid biopsy. So If you are working on epigenomics then please get in touch.
PS: I previously managed the CRUK-CI Genomics Core.
