Who we are

<aside> 💡

• The PCE Lab studies how cancer cells adapt, survive, and change state under treatment. </aside>

Our work sits at the intersection of cancer evolution, phenotypic plasticity, and single-cell biology, with a strong focus on paediatric solid tumours.

Based at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London, we collaborate closely with national and international modellers, clinicians, and computational scientists.

What it’s like to work here

The lab is led with a supportive, enthusiastic mentoring style, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and mutual support. I am genuinely excited by new ideas, and aim to create an environment where people feel comfortable proposing bold questions and developing their own scientific voice.

Our lab culture is:

• Curious and rigorous : we care deeply about mechanisms and quantitative thinking
• Supportive and collaborative
• Interdisciplinary: wet lab, dry lab, theory, and modelling work together seamlessly
• People-centred: training, independence, and wellbeing are core priorities

Who we're looking for

Prospective PhD student

• With backgrounds in biology, physics, engineering, computer science, or mathematics
• Interested in cancer evolution, plasticity, single-cell data, or quantitative approaches
