Research in cell-state biology. Counselling in hereditary cancer.

Research

I investigate why cells exposed to common endocrine and physiological signals can follow different fates. My research brings together developmental and cell biology, polyploidy, stress physiology, biomolecular organisation and tissue remodelling.

My scientific approach has also been shaped by interdisciplinary work across biology, physics, engineering and medicine. Within biomedical optics, I have investigated tissue optical properties, light–tissue interactions and their biological and potential clinical significance.

Genetic counselling

I provide counselling around inherited cancer risk, germline genetic testing and the interpretation of results. This includes assessing personal and family history, supporting informed decisions about testing, explaining uncertain or unexpected findings, and considering possible implications for relatives.
