Group Leader

Nezha holds a Chancellor's Fellowship at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer, University of Edinburgh.

Before establishing her group in Edinburgh, Nezha worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) and at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. She received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh, UK.

Research Assistant

Libby's project focuses on understanding the mechanisms of gene fusions driving small blue round cell sarcomas (USRCS or Ewing-like). Using novel models developed in the laboratory, her work will contribute to a better understanding of the biology behind these tumours.

Libby did her undergraduate degree and completed a MScR by Research in Cellular and Molecular Medicine in Bristol.

PhD student

Lucia's project focuses on investigating gene fusions associated with endometrial stromal sarcomas and and how they contribute to different tumour grade.

Lucia did her undergraduate degree in Molecular Genetics at the University of Dundee and has joined the lab with a MRC DTP studentship.

Master student

Valeriia is developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of bone sarcomas.

Valeriia’s laboratory placement is part of her integrated master’s degree in Genetics at the University of Glasgow.
