Welcome to the homepage of the Clinical and Biomedical Proteomics team
led by Roz Banks and Peter Selby. We are based in the Cancer Research
UK Clinical Centre, which is located on the St James's University
Hospital campus in Leeds, UK.
One of our main research focuses is renal cancer where we are
aiming to identify new markers of disease or novel therapeutic targets
and also to increase our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis
by examining the functional implications of our findings. However, we
are also involved in a series of collaborative clinical proteomics
projects in several other cancers and diseases including renal
transplant rejection (acute and chronic), multiple sclerosis and
Parkinson.s disease, with similar but very disease-specific aims, and
in clinical trials. Many of our group activities are funded as part of
the Cancer Research UK Cancer Clinical Proteomics Programme in Leeds
(co-PIs Roz Banks and Peter Selby).
A recent development is the involvement of the Group as a partner in
the EU-funded CAGEKID Programme which is aimed at whole genome resequencing, transcriptomic and methylation analysis of renal cancer as part of the ICGC initiative.
Information about our activities and many aspects of proteomics and the
diseases in which we are involved can be found by selecting the
appropriate navigation links above. An overview was recently published
in the Leeds alumnus magazine "Medicine Matters" and can be viewed from
this link.
