Meet Our Research Team

Professor Bryan Hennessy is an international leader in the application of reverse phase protein arrays (RPPA) for quantitative protein profiling to interrogate predictive and prognostic markers in breast, colon and other cancers.

One important area NECRET provides a significant proportion of the funding that it receives is cancer research.

As Professor Hennessy describes cancer research is aimed at improving how we treat cancer and the treatments that we have for people with cancer. This is so that we can continue to improve cure rates for people with cancer.
