Biography
David Adams is working as Professor in genetics.
Research Interest
Dr. David Adams and his group study the mechanisms of cancer development, particularly skin cancer (melanoma) and colorectal cancer. They sequence DNA from families with a high incidence of cancer, and also tumours from patients to understand why some people are at greater risk of tumour development and how cancers evolve. The group also performs functional studies in cultured cells and in mice to understand how factors such as DNA mutations and the immune system influence tumour growth.
