Interests

Cleo’s is the Director of the QMUL Phenotypic Screening Facility, with >18 years experience in compound/genetic high-throughput screening using 2D/3D in vitro models. Her research seeks to illuminate senescence mechanisms, understand how cells age, explore the interplay between healthy ageing and cellular rejuvenation, and target senescence for ageing and cancer therapy. Ageing team: understand the fundamental mechanisms that senescence heterogeneity; uncover novel routes to cellular rejuvenation; explore how senescence underpins ageing phenotypes; and discover novel senostatics and senolytics for healthy ageing. Cancer team: how cells sense early carcinogenic events; find mechanisms to selectively trigger senescence in breast cancer; identify new genetic targets for pro-senescence therapy; and discover novel senostatic and senolytic approaches for cancer therapy.
