I am working as a senior technician in the lab. My project is to study DNA damage repair pathway response after radiation under hypoxia conditions using both in vitro and in vivo models. My experiments require cell/animal irradiation, hypoxia gas treatments, real-time PCR, flow cytrometry and immunohistochemisty image analyses.

I am a research technician. I have been using in vitro (clonogenics, western blots) assays and in vivo (normal tissue and xenograft assays) models to investigate DNA repair inhibitors as a means to sensitize cancer cells. I am also looking at the effect hypoxia has on the efficacy of these drugs.

I am a PhD student in the Department of Medical Biophysics. My project involves studying the effect of hypoxia on DNA double strand break repair using biochemical and plasmid repair assays and correlating this to clonogenic survival.

Shane Harding

I am an MSc student in the Department of Medical Biophysics. My interest lies in the cell cycle dependence of interactions between p53 phosphoforms and their binding partners (eg. 53BP1). I am using immunoprecipitation and quantitative  immunofluorescent confocal microscopy to gain an understanding of how these interactions contribute to cancer biology.

I am currently an MSc student within the Institute of Medical Sciences. I am interested in kallikrein protein expression during clinical prostate cancer radiotherapy and am using proteomic approaches (eg. multiplex immunoasays and mass spectroscopy) to integrate blood and urine specimens from patients.
