Bladder cell biologist working with normal and cancer human tissue models for Kidney Research UK and @yorkagainstcancer.bsky.social. We study how bladder cancer is initiated by BK polyomavirus-induced APOBEC3 cytosine deaminases.
I'm really excited to be teaching about mutational signatures and viral aetiologies in #bladdercancer at the "Course on Urothelial Malignancies" in Paris 14-16 January 2026. There are so many great speakers, I'm sure I'll learn lots. Hope to see you there!

Interested in #bladdercancer? Come to the Bladder Cancer Translational Research Meeting in Brimingham on the 28th Feb. I'm presenting on APOBECs and cancer initiation. Prof Maria De Santis is talking about treating metastatic disease and loads more exciting speakers.

I'm really looking forward to speaking at the 7th Bladder Cancer Translational Research Meeting which is in Birmingham on the 28th February 2025. If you're involved in bladder cancer research, please submit an abstract and join us. It's a great, collaborative meeting.

Anyone interested in APOBECs and/or DNA editing should consider attending The 6th International Conference on Base Editing, Prime Editing & Related Enzymes. "Deaminet" runs January 22-24, 2025 at Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs, California. It's a great meeting!

Nice to see the preprint published now in EMBO J. Lovely work on APOBEC3s in the skin from Tim Fenton's group in Southampton. We need to do more work in urothelial differentiation, but so far we don't see much APOBEC3A in healthy tissues.
