About
My laboratory’s profound motivation and purpose is to stop the development of oesophageal cancer. By working in a multidisciplinary team we are combining our expertise to affect novel therapeutic strategies for immunoprevention and decipher the underlying biology that governs protection from damage and dysfunction in the oesophageal epithelium as we age.

Biography
Matthew Rose-Zerilli graduated from the University of Portsmouth in 2002 with a degree in Biochemistry. Matthew worked in the Pharmacogenomics industry before he undertook a PhD in Genetics at the University of Southampton. Following his PhD, he was awarded a career track fellowship within the School of Medicine and subsequently obtained a John Goldman fellowship for future science (Leukaemia UK). Recently, Matthew established his own research group focussed on cancer prevention within the School of Cancer Sciences.
