Biography

Biography

Nicole Clarke gained a PhD from the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University in New York. She then carried out a postdoctoral fellowship in Strasbourg, France at the IGBMC studying the anti-cancer activity of retinoids and HDAC inhibitors. Nicole then took up a Lectureship at the University of Nottingham in the School of Pharmacy. where she taught on the MPharm programme and carried out research on the tumour suppressor activity of the transcription factor IRF1. Her research has been published in the journals, Nature Medicine, Nucleic Acids Research, EMBO journal, and Cell Death and Differentiation. She has recently joined the Peninsula Medical School as a Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences. Nicole's research interests are in the area of cancer research with specific interests in tumour suppressor regulation and activity.
