Research Seminar: Aliah Hawari and Claire Kramer

The Genomics England Research Seminar series is a season of events held to demonstrate the best research from Genomics England and our partners. They started in October 2018, and are monthly, free-to-attend talks presented by Research Network members on the latest research being performed using data from the National Genomic Research Library.

This month's seminar speakers will be

Aliah Hawari: Mutational Signatures and Evolutionary Trajectories in Ovarian Cancer

Aliah Hawari is a computational biologist at the Manchester Cancer Research Centre working in the field of cancer genomics and data science. Her research work focuses on comprehensively characterising genomic features that drive tumour evolution, particularly in breast and gynaecological cancers. Additionally, Aliah is passionate about understanding the role of diversity and ethnicity in cancer genomics and early detection. She aims to uncover population-specific genetic and environmental factors contributing to cancer disparities and develop early detection strategies to promote equitable cancer care. Aliah completed her PhD at the University of Oxford before undertaking postdoctoral research at the University of Manchester.

Claire Kramer: The Rhythm of Carcinogenesis – Reconstructing the Continuum of Copy Number High Endometrial Carcinogenesis

About the research seminars

The seminars will be held on the last Tuesday of each month at 2 to 3pm. These will be online sessions open to everyone and free to attend, we hope to have representation from across the Research Network, Discovery Forum and 100,000 Genomes Project participants as well as anyone else who would be interested in joining.

For updates on the seminars including announcements and speakers please follow the Genomics England twitter page. You can watch all previous Research Seminars on the Genomics England YouTube channel.

If you would like to present your research from the Genomics England Research Environment at one of these events please get in touch with the Research Management team at [email protected] and if you intend to publish on this research please include this so that we can publicise your paper on our Publications page.
