My major interest is in genome-wide analyses of somatic mutations in tumours and normal cells. My major areas of interest have been: the discovery of new cancer genes; the identification of somatic mutation processes operative in tumours; the characterisation of patterns of cancer evolution; and the translation of these fundamental insights about cancer biology into better management of patients. I am increasingly interested in the role of somatic mutations outside of cancer, including non-malignant diseases and ageing. Particular focus areas include how somatic mutations delineate clonal relationships of normal cellular populations and how somatic mutations affect normal cellular behaviour.
