My main research focuses on understanding the genetic basis of common cancers and applying this knowledge to cancer prevention and understanding cancer biology. I co-ordinate the Breast Cancer Association Consortium, a collaborative group involving more than 50 research groups. My group is involved in the development of a widely used risk prediction tool, BOADICEA I also have an active interest in developing statistical methods, particularly with application to genetics.
