I'm an Associate Professor at the UCL Genetics Institute in the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment. My research focus is genomic instability and tumour-immune crosstalk during cancer progression.

I received my bachelor's degree from Jacobs University (Bremen, Germany) and my PhD from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL, Heidelberg) and the University of Heidelberg (Germany). Following my PhD I worked on the genomics of oesophageal cancer as a Research Associate at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, and on the identification of new targets and immuno-oncology as a Senior Scientist at AstraZeneca.
