Sam Behjati
Group Leader & Wellcome Senior Research Fellow
I am a Paediatrician Scientist and Group Leader working across Cellular Genetics and Cancer.
I am broadly interested in the developmental origins of cancer, especially of childhood cancer. To that end we combine cutting single cell transcriptomics with cancer genomics.
