Sectional Editor: Histopathology
Professor
Department of Histopathology

London, UK
Biography:
I am a professor of Haematopathology at UCL and a consultant Haematopathologist at UCLH. I head a research team at the UCL Cancer Institute, and I developed collaborations across different research groups within UCL and across UK, Europe and America.
My research career began in 1993 in Berlin under Prof. H. Stein, one of the stalwarts of Haematopathology, as a clinical research fellow focussed on the pathogenesis of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Using cutting edge technology at the time – single cell microdissection and sequencing – we provided definitive evidence for identifying the lineage of neoplastic cells in Hodgkin Lymphoma. This work was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1997 and I was first author.
In February 2000, I moved to the University of Oxford to work under Prof D. Y. Mason on the development of monoclonal antibodies against intracellular proteins to investigate normal lymphocyte biology and lymphoma diagnosis. This led to the discovery of unique biomarkers such as PD-1, ICOS, and CD2AP that helped in reclassifying specific lymphoma entities. They are now in routine diagnostic use and have been included in the WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues 2017- the gold standard amongst published diagnostic guidelines.
Since January 2010 my work at UCLH has been funded jointly by the NHS Trust and UCL/UCLH BRC with protected research sessions that enable a 50:50 split between academic/research and diagnostic work. I have continued my research in haemato-oncology and extended it to characterization of lymphocyte anti-tumour cells in collaboration with the ongoing immunotherapy programmes at UCL/UCLH and external groups. In 2015, I co-authored the guidelines on investigation and management of Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma, the first such guideline published by the British Committee for Standards in Haematology (BCSH) on this topic.
Below are detailes of my research streams and some specific examples:
1. Identification of Novel Markers for Lymphoma Diagnostics.
a. Stathmin (STMN1), a novel diagnostic marker for follicular lymphoma subgroups with an “atypical” immunophenotypic and molecular profile. STMN1 is of potential relevance for therapeutic clinical trials.This article published in J of Pathology received the 2013 Roger Cotton Prize;
b. BRAF (V600E), a useful diagnostic and therapeutic target for subsets of transformed chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (Richter’s Syndrome) (Br J Haematol 2015);
c. Granulysin, a diagnostic marker for NK/T cell malignancies (Virchows Archiv 2019);
d. FOXP-1, diagnostically relevant to distinguish paediatric follicular lymphoma from benign follicular hyperplasia (Virchows Archiv 2018);
2. Development of Novel Technologies for the Study of Lymphocyte Biology and Tissue Diagnostics
a. I have pioneered the development of multiplex immunostaining (MIS) to detect up to 7 different antigens in tissue samples. This is of diagnostic value in difficult to define lymphomatous entities and in defining the T-cell antitumour response in cancerous tissues. Recently, I have also modified existing techniques to enable multispectral multiplex immunofluorescence using the VECTRA platform. This allows quantitative assessment of multiple, cell surface and intracellular, antigens to detect potential mechanisms of tumour immune-escape. This technique has been applied to three large clinical studies on Burkitt, Follicular lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma cases (data in progress).
b. I have established techniques for the identification of specific RNAs cancer biomarkers when the protein is not adequately expressed or antibodies to that protein are not available. This has proved to be useful for the detection of minimal residual disease in acute myeloid leukaemia (data under review) and in breast cancer where the HER2 protein expression may be lost but the RNA is still present.
3. Studies of the anti-tumour T-cell response in cancerous tissues
Capitalising on my knowledge of lymphocyte biology and my technical expertise to identify lymphocyte subsets, I have developed collaborations with the immune-therapy teams in the UCL Cancer Institute, CRICK and Imperial College London, who work on checkpoint inhibition, tumour neo-antigens and CAR T-cell therapies. This has been particularly productive for publications in leading scientific journals such as Science (2016), Lancet (2017), and Annals of Oncology (2018).
Research Interests: Immunology, Oncology, Haematopathology as well as Immunohistochemistry-based techniques and digital pathology
