My research focuses on investigating the IGF axis in prostate cancer
About
I am a second-year DPhil student researching the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis as a risk factor for prostate cancer. My research aims to investigate how high circulating IGF-1 could influence risk by regulating components of the tumour microenvironment. I am also currently the DPhil student representative and sit on the Athena Swan committee in the Department of Oncology.
