The Cell Transformation Team aims to apply molecular technology to clinical problems identified through links to clinicians in the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. Projects usually involve the identification of cancer-related genes that can be used to aid diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of selected cancer types including prostate cancer, bladder cancer and sarcomas. This team has close links with the Molecular Cytogenetics team headed by Dr Janet Shipley and Transcription Factor team headed by Dr Graham Goodwin, the Active Surveillance team headed by Dr Chris Parker, the Cancer Genetics team headed by Dr Ros Eeles, and the Cancer Research UK DNA Microarray Facility headed by Dr Ian Giddings.
