Research Seminar: Daniella Black and Chris Bailey

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 from the Pan-Cancer and Molecular Oncology community will be:

Daniella Black: 'Insights from breast cancer whole-genome data linked with mortality statistics in England'

Daniella is a final year PhD student working in the Nik-Zainal lab at the Department of Medical Genetics and Early Cancer Institute at Cambridge University focusing on breast cancer genomics.

Chris Bailey: 'The origins and clinical impact of extrachromosomal DNA across 39 tumour types'

Chris is an Academic Clinical Lecturer in Haematology at UCL and University College Hospital. He completed his PhD in Cancer Genomics at the Francis Crick Institute with Professor Charles Swanton on focal gene amplification and extrachromosomal DNA in cancer. His current area of interest is in the molecular stratification and clonal evolution of T cell lymphoma and has a background in genomics, epidemiology and haematology.

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.
