Assistant Professor at University of Sussex. We study how HPV causes cancer and contributes to therapeutic sensitivity, with a particular interest in protein ubiquitination.
After settling in during my first week, I’m happy to share that I have started a new position as an Associate Senior Scientist/Group Head at The Cyprus Institute of Neurology & Genetics!

Advances in understanding the mechanisms of the human papillomavirus oncoproteins
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are responsible for almost all cervical cancer cases and a growing number of oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers. The primary HPV oncoproteins, E6 and E7, act ...

Excited to report our latest research on new “molecular glues” that specifically lock the BRCC36 isopeptidase complex (BRISC) in an autoinhibited state and reduce interferon signalling. This first-of-its-kind approach could reshape how we target large deubiquitylase (DUB) complexes.
