Amit Sud is a Wellcome Early Career Fellow at the University of Oxford and a Haematologist who completed his specialist training in South West London. His academic background includes a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Academic Clinical Fellowship at the Royal Marsden and Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), where he completed his Cancer Research UK PhD on genetic susceptibility to cancer under the supervision of Richard Houlston.
During a Visiting Fellowship at the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ), he concentrated on the epidemiology of blood cancer. He subsequently undertook an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship at the ICR, where his research explored the somatic landscape of cancer.
As part of his Wellcome Trust Fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, he used single-nuclei spatial genomics to characterise tumour-immune interactions.
Now based in the Lehner lab, his current work focuses on deep mutational scans of tumour suppressor genes and transcription factors implicated in cancer.
