Bio:

Robert (Bob) Brown is Professor of Translational Oncology, Imperial College London, with a joint post in the Institute of Cancer Research, London. Until recently, he was Head of Division of Cancer at Imperial College.  Bob’s research focuses on epigenetics of cancer and drug resistance, with a focus on ovarian cancer. He facilitates development of novel epigenetic therapies and is using biomarkers to aid their preclinical and early clinical development. Current research interests include the effect of DNA damaging agents on the epigenome, preclinical development of histone methyltransferase inhibitors and epigenetic targets to prevent acquisition of drug resistance.
