Research
My lab focuses on the tumour microenvironment in cancers of the head and neck, mainly investigating cancers of the oral cavity and oropharynx. This includes the clinical pathology and biology of Potentially Malignant Disorders of the oral cavity, with wide collaborations and links to Industry in this area. I also provide tissue-based pathology support to a wide range of PI groups.
