Andi Osborne
Research Administrator: Translational Genetics
Andrea Osborne is a Research Administrator in the Division of Genetics and Epidemiology at the Institute of Cancer Research, working within Professor Clare Turnbull’s team. She joined the ICR in 2014 after roles in the NHS and Local Authority, initially supporting the Oncogenetics Teams as Data Manager on key prostate cancer studies including UKGPCS, GENPROS and BARCODE1.
In May 2025, Andrea moved to the Translational Genetics Team to support the Retrospective Genetic Testing Programme. She contributes to the day‑to‑day coordination and evaluation of this initiative, which offers germline genetic testing to people previously diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer who meet current eligibility criteria but have not had NHS testing.
Her role includes managing patient pathways, liaising with clinical teams at the Royal Marsden Centre for Molecular Pathology, supporting Research Genetic Counsellors, maintaining accurate documentation and databases, tracking samples and results, and communicating with collaborators across the NHS, research groups and patient organisations.
