Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences at the University of Huddersfield, since 2015. Previously Junior Research Fellow, College Lecturer In Biochemistry and various postdocs at the University of Oxford (2013-15). Working on DNA replication, genome integrity and transcription factors in human cancers (and also in prokaryotes). Additional interests in phylogenomics and novel protein expression systems.
Leticia Costa-Lotufo
Dr. Costa-Lotufo is a full professor at the Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo. Her lab is focused on the discovery of new anticancer compounds from Brazilian marine biodiversity and studies on their mechanisms of action. She coordinate a multidisciplinary project to access marine microorganisms diversity and biotechnological potential along the Brazilian coast and islands. Dr. Costa-Lotufo’s activities include the supervision of undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. She has published book chapters, review articles and more than 230 articles in peer-reviewed journals. On 2010, Dr. Costa-Lotufo was nominated as a young scientist of the Brazilian Academy of Science (2010-2014).
Sue Cotterill
Reader in the Molecular Cell Sciences Research Centre, St Georges University London (SGUL). Studies DNA replication and chromatin structure mainly using Drosophila Melanogaster as a model system.
Liza Cubeddu
Liza is a protein biochemist. She was awarded a Wellcome Trust International Postdoctoral Fellowship (University of St Andrews, UK) and then a National Breast Cancer Foundation Fellowship (University of Sydney, Australia). She moved to the School of Science and Health, University of Western Sydney in 2011 where she is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry. Her current research focuses on understanding the molecular interactions of novel proteins involved in DNA repair and chromatin remodeling.
