Dr Lee Parry - PhD
My undergraduate training was completed in Cardiff University followed by a move to the Institute of Medical Genetics for Wales at the then University of Wales College of Medicine to undertake my PhD. My PhD was completed in the laboratory of Professors Julian Sampson and Jeremy Cheadle on the “Molecular and Functional Analysis of the Human Tumour Suppressor Genes TSC1 and TSC2”.
Upon completing my PhD in 2001 I took up a Postdoctoral Fellow position at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) in the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. My work there was a change of focus from the cancer genetics of my PhD as I worked in the research groups of A/Prof Henrik Dahl and David Thorburn on Complex I deficiency in mitochondria.
Upon completing this post I returned to Cardiff and to cancer genetics in the laboratory of Prof. Alan Clarke.
