Dr Nigel Mongan

Nigel Mongan was awarded his PhD from the University of Cambridge. He completed postdoctoral training also at the University of Cambridge and at Weill Cornell Medicine, where he became a faculty member in 2004. He joined the University of Nottingham in 2010 and continues to have an adjunct faculty appointment at Weill Cornell Medicine. His research interests include epigenetic and epitranscriptomic determinants of treatment resistance in prostate and breast cancers.

Nigel holds leadership roles at the University of Nottingham’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and Centre for Cancer Sciences. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and has received grants from Prostate Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer Foundation, John Black Charitable Foundation and support from the University of Nottingham’s ambitious investment in cancer research.

The University of Nottingham’s Centre for Cancer Sciences will support team SAMBAI by bringing expertise in breast and prostate cancer immunology, tumor microenvironment, gene regulation and digital pathology, and will support capacity building in partner institutions by providing clinical masterclasses in pathology. Through the involvement of early career researchers, (including a recently awarded Prostate Cancer UK Career Acceleration Fellow), and the Nottingham Prostate Cancer Support Group and Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre in team SAMBAI, the University of Nottingham will train the next generation of patient-focussed translational researchers to serve all our communities to address cancer inequities.
