Catherine Wilson

Catherine Wilson is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences, the Gurdon Institute, and the Department of Pharmacology. Her research focuses on Cancer and regeneration, Transcription factor signalling, and Translation. She investigates Myc, a protein involved in DNA transcription, and examines the molecular and pathological effects of modulating Myc activity. Her work employs techniques such as switchable mouse models, histology, transcriptomics, ChIPseq, and single nuclei genomics. Research themes include mRNA therapeutics, regeneration of non-proliferative cells, and Yap signalling.

Catherine Wilson is a researcher at the University of Cambridge whose work focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression. Her research explores the roles of oncogenes such as Myc, Ras, and GNAS in driving tumorigenesis through pathways involving inflammation, immune suppression, lipid metabolism, and Wnt/ERK1/2 signaling. She also investigates the genetic and molecular basis of colorectal cancer, including the impact of PARK2 deletions and GNAS mutations. Her studies employ advanced techniques like high-throughput splinkerette-PCR and comparative oncogenomics to identify novel cancer genes and model tumor biology in mice.
