Meet Owen, a co-investigator on Rosetta and SPECIFICANCER

Professor Owen Sansom is Director of the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute (formerly the Beatson Institute). He has published over 200 papers in a research career spanning 16 years. Owen gained his PhD in 2001 working on in vivo models of apoptosis in cancer. Since then, Owen has been instrumental in determining the molecular hallmarks and cell of origin of epithelial cancers (colorectal and pancreatic).

Using this experience, the Sansom laboratory will provide the Grand Challenge team with the in vivo models that will be mapped in 3D.
