I was awarded a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Dundee in 2003. Then I joined Joan Massagué’s laboratory at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York to undertake postdoctoral research to study the TGFβ pathway regulation, for which I received the prestigious Damon Runyon Cancer Research Fellowship.

I started my independent research group at the MRC PPU in Dundee since November 2008.
