Detecting new potential lines of attack against prostate cancer based on genetic inform...
Nature Genetics
April 2018
We obtained genetic information from the tumours of 112 men with prostate cancer and pooled it with data from other studies, together analysing samples from 930 prostate cancer patients. A detaile...
Study of mechanisms to "knock out" genes in prostate cancer
PLoS Genetics
September 2017
Cancer is a genetic disease where changes in DNA cause alterations in the control of cellular systems leading to unchecked growth. Copy number changes, including duplications, amplifications, and d...

New prostate cancer urine test shows who needs treatment and when
BJU International
June 2019
We developed the Prostate Urine Risk (PUR) test using machine learning to look at gene expression in urine from samples collected from 537 men attending a clinic with suspected prostate cancer. By ...
Detecting viruses in tumour tissue to discover links between cancer and infection
Nature Genetics
February 2020
It is well established that infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, are involved in the development of a variety of human cancers and it is estimated that infectious agents are involved in...
New types of prostate cancer have been discovered and linked with how patient progress
British Journal of Cancer
March 2020
We have discovered why some prostate cancers are more aggressive, spread to different parts of the body, and ultimately cause death. Recently we developed a test to distinguish aggressive prostate...
Overlap of biological markers of prostate cancer reveals information about how progress...
Genes
July 2020
How prostate cancer develops is highly variable and this has led to the development of multiple tests using biological markers detectable in cells to try and predict how long it will take for the d...
Testing computational tools to detect bacteria and viruses in human samples of DNA
October 2019
There is a huge variety of computational methods coming out recently that each claim to be the best at detecting pathogens (ie bacteria/viruses). We apply multiple tools to real and computer simula...
A new urine test for aggressive prostate cancer combining two different approaches
Cancers
April 2021
In this paper we look at combining two different types of measurements taken from different parts of urine, to see if they can help us better detect prostate cancer and determine how agressive it i...
