I ran a small group in the Department of Zoology funded by a Cancer Research UK career development fellowship. We are investigating the mechanisms and control of genome replication, both at genetic and epigenetic levels. It is during replication that the mutations that cause cancer are either generated or fixed, and hence the study of the basic mechanisms of replication is crucial to understanding cancer delevopment.
In the laboratory we use biochemical approaches such as surface plasmon resonance to investigate physical interactions between replication proteins, and also in vivo studies of replication protein dynamics and interactions in human tissue culture systems.
Catherine has taken a position at the Nuffield Department of Medicine in the University of Oxford.
